Really enjoying everyone's photos...thanks much and please keep up the fantastic work!
Here's something that might interest any fellow gardeners.
At my Mom's house this morning - photos of a Podocarpus hedge that I planted about 10 years ago. This last plant on the end is much more compact in growth habit and foliage. I'm not familiar with any compact varieties of Podocarpus (around here anyway) except for Pringles but that one has larger leaves so is not this. This is pretty cool. I intend to take tip cuttings from this plant and get some going for future topiary projects.
