Good info. Alot of people don't realize and are sometimes not told at nurseries that the root is still in root ball formation for up to the first year usually. You need to water the root ball area to keep it moist while the roots grow outwards and stabilize the plant. Till the plant gets settled in and stable. Thanks for the video.
I am in zone 11 and it is essential to water daily when it is our dry season. I learned that the hard way! Once established, these plants are very easy to maintain.
I water podocarpus everyday but they turn brown and crisp. so i bought new one I water everyday for 4 days only and after that one time a week, hope they make it.
I planted a podocarpus "tree" sapling from Home Depot in my yard about 6 months ago and I think I was over watering it because in the last 6 weeks or so some of its leaves have been browning. It's grown but only about three inches vertically. More horizontally. I put plant food in the hole before I set it in permanently. I cut back the amount of water but I haven't been watering daily. I may give it about 1/2 gal a day and watch it's condition.
Thank you very much . I live in Arkansas so i regularly check everything . But sometimes i assume after 6months things will have rooted enough that i can relax . I plan on getting some Podocarpus Roman Candle when i can find them available. I have this saved for reference and so glad you specially point this out . Any more information you have i will watch.
Is this the dwarf Italian cypress the one that's grows up to 12 feet only..I live in the city in a corner lot and looking for something to block my 2 story neighbiors house..don't want anything with aggressive roots. I also need some shurbs or small pines for the fence that faces the street. My yard sits high so people can see inside my yard..I like the hedges but I don't think we will be maintaining it to cut it like a wall all the time.
Mine are dying off one then the next, then the next right in a line, lost 4 now. They are all 5' or more and have been in for over 5 years. They turn brown over a few weeks and never recover.
@@cabezamiami he never said he planted 10 and 1 died, he said 'if' you plant 10 and 1 dies it's about 10% of them dying, later on he goes to also state that if you plant 1000 and 500 of them die which is what my original comment was addressing
WHAT GROW ZONE AND CLIMATE ARE YOU IN??? THIS MATTERS A WHOLE LOT. ARIZONA DESSERT OR TROPICAL RAINFOREST FORT LAUDERDALE, CONDITIONS MATTER PEOPLE. THANKS
I think he said for a year. I just bought 5 15 gallon podocarpus plans and my local nursery says to water them 3 days a week during the first summer. Then 2 days a week in the winter until the end of the 2nd summer. After that you can water once a week. I hope this helps

Thanks for the heads up man! So many idiots with useless comments. He's just trying to help us, people!

Are these shrubs really a toxicity issue around pets/children or not? I’m getting mixed information on them.

I have the 5 gallon size, how far apart planting them please?
Is this the experience in zone 7b as well? Or does this apply to every zone do you think?

Is it ok to use stones on a newly planted 3 gallon Podocarpus?
I've learned this the hard way
But not I wonder why the new growth is curling? Very light green ? I could use some help
The new growth is light green as it gets older gets darker
Will it help if put the plants in the pallets?
Watering Everyday for one year!!!
That is a lot, I am not sure what zone he is talking about!
Just planted about 35 15 gallon podocarpus. Some are slanting and not straight. Is there a way to straighten them
Landscaper planted 6 3ft high at my frontyard and placed carabao grass on the showing soil.isbthat ok? Wudnt it hamper the growth ?
Thank you for that, what about dieback branches, we are in Daytona Beach, and plenty of water for sure, any reason for dieback branches?
Thanks for video. After 5 years nice glossy 9 ft tall, but middle somehow bare.

Thank you for sharing this Sir it helps, keep going and Take Care Always 💕❤️💕
I learned this the hard and expensive way, never again.
what is a good soil for podocarpus planting..?
I'd say it really doesn't matter, but if you are going to use something use something to help retain moisture
oh so, well thank you very much dude.. 🙏
10% of 1000 is 100, but anyway thanks for the great info, you're absolutely correct about the plants watering needs
Well, he is not a mathematician. I bet he know what a woman is, unlike the new supreme justice.😂
He said he planted 10 and 1 died, that is 10% as he mentioned

@@rifleman542 if you water them as you are supposed to 10% die. If you don't water at all more than 10% die. Make sense?
I didnt see any behind you that you kept referring to.
