The Podocarpus is a very dense, upright, slow growing evergreen woody plant that originally came from China and Japan. It has long slender dark green leathery leaves. A Podocarpus grows straight up with very little side branching unless it is actively pruned. This plant is relatively simple to care for and adapts well to various conditions. It is easily trained to be a bonsai or a topiary plants. When planted outside in the ground a Podocarpus grows quite large, but when used indoors or on the porch as a potted plant, it remains a small tree or shrub.
Because of its moderate growth rate it won't work as a hedge-in-a-hurry.
But given enough time these shrubs become thick, luxurious, full to the ground - and large enough to work as hedge bushes, privacy screens, or plants to camouflage unsightly things around the house.
Bonsai come in various styles. Below are some of the most commonly encountered ones:
1. Formal and Informal Straight
The trunk in a formal straight bonsai is straight, and the top of the tree is in line with the body and the base. In case of an informal straight bonsai, the trunk slants slightly, but the top of the tree still ends up directly above the center of the base.
2. slant
The entire tree is slanted to one side.
3. CascadeThe bonsai pinnacle ends up at the same height or lower than the pot, like a tree at the edge of a cliff.
4. Forest and Multi-Trunk
In a forest style bonsai, multiple trees are grown in the same pot, carefully fashioned to mimic a forest.
5. RockThe tree grows on a rock with its roots anchored in the rock's cracks or in the soil below.
