Jalako Red Plum Pine - Podocarpus nivalis 'Jalako Red'

Another fun Podocarpus to add to our inventory. This slow-growing evergreen shrub will continue to delight you through the year, the foliage turns dark red in the winter and changes back to it's emerald green color in the summer. 

A fun shrub for the miniature garden. The leaves are in perfect scale and, while it doesn't require pruning, you can trim and shape it to keep it in scale in your miniature garden.
