Podocarpus Weeping (Podocarpus gracilior)

Best Growing Environment: Podocarpus Weeping, scientifically known as Podocarpus gracilior, thrives in a variety of environments, making it a versatile plant for many landscapes. It prefers a location with well-drained, fertile soil and can tolerate a range of soil types, including sandy and loamy soils. The ideal pH for Podocarpus Weeping is slightly acidic to neutral (6.0 to 7.0). This plant is well-suited for both coastal and inland environments and can tolerate urban pollution, making it a popular choice for city landscapes. It performs best in areas with moderate humidity and is relatively drought-tolerant once established.

Common Names:

  • Podocarpus Weeping
  • African Fern Pine
  • Weeping Podocarpus

Average Height and Diameter: Podocarpus Weeping typically grows to a height of 20 to 40 feet (6 to 12 meters) and can spread to a width of 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters). In ideal conditions, it can reach heights of up to 50 feet (15 meters) with a similar spread, forming a graceful, weeping canopy. Its upright growth habit and fine-textured foliage make it an excellent choice for tall hedges, screens, or standalone specimen trees.

Growth Rate: Podocarpus Weeping has a moderate to fast growth rate, depending on the growing conditions. Under optimal conditions, it can grow about 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) per year. Regular watering and fertilization can help promote faster growth.

Sun Requirements: Podocarpus Weeping thrives in full sun to partial shade. For the best growth and form, it should receive at least 4 to 6 hours of direct sunlight per day. In hotter climates, some afternoon shade can help prevent leaf scorch. It is adaptable to different light conditions, but too much shade can result in a less dense canopy and slower growth.

Cold Hardiness: Podocarpus Weeping is hardy in USDA Hardiness Zones 9 through 11. It can tolerate temperatures down to 20F (-6°C) but may suffer damage if exposed to prolonged freezing temperatures. In cooler regions, it can be grown in a sheltered location or as a container plant that can be moved indoors during the winter months.

Water Requirements: Podocarpus Weeping has moderate water needs. It prefers consistently moist soil but can tolerate periods of drought once established. During the first year after planting, regular watering is essential to help the plant establish a deep root system. After establishment, watering deeply once a week during dry periods is generally sufficient. Overwatering should be avoided, as this can lead to root rot.

Detailed Fertilizing Guide:

  • Spring: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer (such as a 10-10-10 formula) in early spring as new growth begins. This will provide essential nutrients to support vigorous growth and foliage development.
  • Summer: A mid-summer application of balanced fertilizer can help sustain growth and maintain foliage color. Use a granular fertilizer according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
  • Fall: Reduce fertilization in the fall to allow the plant to harden off before winter. If desired, a light application of a low-nitrogen fertilizer can be used to promote root development.
  • Organic Options: Incorporating organic matter such as compost or well-rotted manure into the soil can provide a steady supply of nutrients and improve soil structure.

Planting Guide:

  • Site Selection: Choose a location with well-drained soil and adequate sunlight. Avoid areas with poor drainage or heavy clay soils, which can lead to root rot.
  • Planting Time: The best time to plant Podocarpus Weeping is in the spring or early fall when temperatures are mild. This allows the plant to establish roots before the extreme heat of summer or the cold of winter.
  • Planting Depth: Dig a hole twice as wide and as deep as the root ball. Place the plant in the hole at the same depth it was growing in the container. Backfill with soil, gently firming it around the roots.
  • Spacing: Space plants 10 to 20 feet (3 to 6 meters) apart to allow for their mature size. For hedges, space them closer together (about 5 to 10 feet or 1.5 to 3 meters) to create a dense barrier.
  • Watering: Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil and eliminate air pockets. Continue to water regularly, especially during the first growing season, to ensure good establishment.
  • Mulching: Apply a 2 to 3-inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant to help retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Keep mulch a few inches away from the trunk to prevent rot.

Destroyed in under 10 minutes
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I bought 2 of these toys, one for my 9 year old great dane who isn't an aggressive chewer, and one for my 6 month old puppy who is average. In less than 10 minutes both were destroyed and my dane managed to swallow a good chunk. I wasn't surprised when they both had small holes on the ends and started pulling the stuffing out. The stuffing and squeakers were confiscated immediately, but I let them keep chewing. By the time I came back from throwing the insides away, both dogs had chewed the toys in half and my dane swallowed a chunk when he saw me coming. The puppy was going to do the same thing, but luckily we're working on his "drop" command so he was excited enough for the bigger payout and dropped it. They didn't just come apart at the seams, the whole toy ripped in half making it too easy to swallow. Neither of them are aggressive cheers and the toys didn't hold up at all. A stuffed animal toy would have lasted longer (and has any time I've allowed it). 10 minutes of playtime is probably too generous , but I'm trying to be fair. If I hadn't been right there watching them, they both would have been able to swallow the whole thing in minutes. Definitely not safe for any amount of actual chewing.

The perfect teething toy for a puppy of any size - apparently indestructible!
Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone, Size: 9 in, Color: Large Bone
I ordered this product for an overly excitable, destructive corgi chihuahua mix puppy, who was teething. He was a foster and managed to destroy, almost immediately, every toy I had on-hand for him, and toys I picked up at the local pet store. I was very concerned he'd swallow parts of toys, which can lead to fatal intestinal blockages, not to mention extremely high vet bills which I couldn't cover as a simple foster mom. When it arrived, I crossed my fingers that the "Seam Protection - doubled-stitched seams with heavy duty thread" would actually add "extra durability." And I was NOT disappointed! The bone shape of the toy would probably fit comfortably in the mouth of any dog or puppy, as you can see from photo #4. What's coolest about the shape of this toy is the pup can sink all of his or her teeth into it, providing comfort for the entire mouth and not just a few teeth or only one section of its mouth at a time. I was much more experienced as a kitten foster mom, and had had similar difficulties finding teething toys for kittens. This toy is thin and light weight enough that I imagine it could provide relief for little kitten mouths, also, but I didn't get to find out, as my little foster pup chose this as his #1 favorite toy and brought it with him to his forever home. I wanted to know how long it would take before he'd destroy it, though (picture 5 he'd had this Dura-Fused bone toy for a few hours short of one week, and the last photo - you'll see he'd not even undone a small portion of the seam!) Overall I would highly recommend this product for teething babies of almost any species. As far as I could tell it is indestructible. Almost seven days of constant gnawing and he'd not even taken one stitch out, created any tear or rip, let alone, gotten close to being able to swallow the squeaker (always a fear!). I imagine months later, he's still been unsuccessful at ripping/tearing this toy at all. I'd gladly buy again should I foster any dog or puppy - the company lives up to its moniker, Ethical Products, because they've produced a no-frills and apparently indestructible squeak toy which I'd have no fears of leaving with a teething puppy unsupervised. Highly recommended!

Good tug toy
Size: 15 in, Color: Retriever
I have a doberman that shready everything in 2.5 seconds. This lasted a few days so was impressed for the cost. Would buy again as he really liked it.

My dog’s new favorite
Size: 8 in, Color: Squirrel
didn’t expect much for the price but my dog actually loves this thing. It’s tough enough to hold up to regular chewing and the leather gives it a nice texture that’s different from the usual plush toys. He carries it around like it’s his prize. It’s not indestructible and if your dog is a heavy shredder it probably won’t last forever but for moderate chewers it holds up way better than a lot of toys I’ve tried. Definitely worth grabbing again.

Not for gnawers
Size: 11.5 in, Color: Bear
I was hoping this would work for my teenage ACD and save my leather goods from being chewed on. He gnawed on it quietly I was thrilled. But I had to take it from him within a few minutes. Gnawing apparently equals chewing pieces off. Not made for chewers or gnawers. It seemed to be well made, was soft, was actually a fairly good size and didn’t get gross when it got spitty. Just didn’t work out for Captain chaos destructor of all.
