Errinundra Plum-Pine (Podocarpus lawrencei) - Description
Podocarpus lawrencei is a species of podocarp native throughout the Australian high country, from southern Tasmania through to the New South Wales highlands. Common names are Errinundra plum-pine and mountain plum-pine (though it is neither a pine nor a plum). It grows on exposed sites to 1,800 m, often forming living carpets over rocks through wind pruning.
Errinundra Plum-Pine (Podocarpus lawrencei) - Blooming
Male and female flowers are borne on separate plants in cones. If both males and females are present, plum-shaped, single-seeded fruits can be produced.
Errinundra Plum-Pine (Podocarpus lawrencei) - Growth
Dioecious evergreen coniferous shrubs and trees. Podocarpus grows best in full sun with shelter from cold, dry winds. Especially likes humid or high-rainfall climates. Less hardy specimens should be grown indoors with maintained temperate conditions. Many species work well in a woodland garden or border. P. macrophyllus requires long hot and humid summers to fully develop.
