Podocarpus has narrow, dark green leaves and grows slowly, so it holds its shape and needs less trimming than faster hedges.
It has no major pest problems and is salt tolerant, though it prefers well-drained soil and can yellow in alkaline soil.
It is a good pick for a neat front hedge, and it holds a formal line for a long time.
