Podocarpus Macrophyllus Japanese Yew | 10 Live Plants | Podocarpus macrophyllus | Privacy Hedge Shrub | Evergreen Landscaping Plants for Gardens & Borders

I wasn't able to get these in the ground as quickly as I wanted because of work but I watched them carefully and made sure they didn't dry out. I finally planted them and then laid drip hoses along the hedge line for easy watering. That was a couple of months ago and lots of them have doubled in size with that light green new growth. I think a rabbit may have eaten the leaves off of three of them but I had a few left over so I can replace them if they don't leaf up again. I put the left over plants in larger pots and they're thriving too. They're my "emergency back up" in case of weed eaters and rabbits. But the weed eaters haven't gotten them because I put a little purple flag in front of each plant so they won't get mowed down. So far, so good. If I ever get a hedge, I'll take a picture.In the meantime, they're adorable and healthy looking. They had some of the worst packaging I've ever received but they came through like champs! These are tough little plants. Open them outside because, if they're packaged like mine were, there will be soil everywhere when you open the package.

I was a little hesitant to order shrubs online but the pics and the reviews looked promising. What I received is super tiny and not at all like the pictures. The pots are 1 inch wide and 3 inches tall. The foliage is about 3 inches tall. If they were a foot tall like the pictures lead you to believe or like the other reviewers received, I could have used them. On the bright side, they seemed healthy. Now I get to return shrubs online for the first time.

I received twenty plants for a hedge I will use to hide air conditioning and utility equipment on one side of our house. They were in good condition. I planted them the following week in a prepared bed and all but one of them has taken root and started to grow. Since I only used 19 of them for the hedge, my spare replaced the plant that did not make it. They look good and healthy so far and I am pleased with them and hope that the growing season will see significant growth.

These are great. I expected small (3-6") but they are what I need to begin landscaping my new yard. They were all damp upon arrival and had fully developed roots. The packaging was somewhat over the top--I had great difficulty getting them out past all the industrialize stapling of cardboard and insulation foam glue--but I can't imagine how anything could be damaged even if drop kicked or upside down. I purchased 10-packs of three different kinds of plants and all looked very healthy. I've repotted them until spring when I can set them out in the yard. Thanks!

I was nervous about buying living plants and having them shipped cross country from Florida to CA, where I live. Could they survive the trip? I needed a lot of them, as inexpensively as possible, for a new hedge. So I took a chance and bought 40 small plants. I already have one beautiful Podocarpus hedge that's 8' tall and full of lush pompom branches.The plants arrived quickly (received on Feb. 6 2018) and alive. Not a single dead or dying plant out of 40! I'd give 5 stars to this nursery but a fair amount of planting mix came loose out of the mini-pots. It wasn't a huge problem, but it was messy and some of the roots were slightly dry (but the plant was alive and viable). They're all planted and alive 6 weeks after I received them. Anyway, I a happy customer. I had my holes dug and drip irrigation ready so as soon as the plants arrived, I got them planted. And they're all still alive.

Got all of them. All alive. Very nicely packaged. They are much smaller than expected. The pictures show them bigger and more mature. I hope they grow. Just planted 20 of them and will water and mulch.Update. All but three have died. I think that if they were bigger like shown in pictures, they would have survived. I don't recommend buying them. I could get six bigger ones at my local lowes and Walmart for the price I paid on Amazon.

They seem fine and should work. However they are not even close to the size that they advertise. 3-4 inches, not 11-12 as shown.They also came in plastic bags in clumps of 10 instead of in 2” pots as advertised.

Nice and healthy I like it
