Podocarpus falcatus Clouds - Evergreen Trees Direct

PLANT PROFILE

Podocarpus falcatus ‘Clouds’ is a sculptural evergreen that transforms gardens with its distinctive cloud-like pruning style. This elegant, layered foliage creates a serene, architectural presence perfect for adding sophistication to courtyards, Japanese gardens, or modern landscapes.

Growing between 2 to 4 meters tall (depending on pruning) and spreading 1.5 to 2.5 meters wide, it maintains a refined yet natural form. Its dense, deep green foliage offers year-round interest with a calming visual texture that complements minimalist and artistic garden designs.

Ideal for feature planting in pots, patios, or entryways, ‘Clouds’ thrives in full sun to partial shade and requires moderate watering—especially when establishing. Once settled, it tolerates drought and light frost. Maintenance is low, with occasional light pruning needed to preserve its iconic cloud shapes.

Perfect for gardeners seeking a unique, evergreen focal point that blends durability, versatility, and artistic flair, Podocarpus falcatus ‘Clouds’ elevates any outdoor space with timeless elegance.

Site Selection: Choose a full sun to part shade location with well-drained soil.

Digging the Hole: Dig a hole twice as wide as the root ball but no deeper.

Planting: Position the plant so the crown is level with the soil surface. Backfill with native soil and water deeply.

Mulching: Apply a 5cm mulch layer around the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds, keeping mulch away from the trunk.

Watering: Water regularly during establishment, then reduce frequency once established.
