Podocarpus for gardens and landscapes.
We select quality trees with beautiful forms and well-structured branches from trusted growers. Each tree is chosen with real landscapes in mind, from private home gardens and resort settings to larger projects with a refined, understated character.
Get to know Japanese Podocarpus
Podocarpus is an evergreen tree with distinctive, slender, paddle-shaped leaves. Its foliage gathers in cloud-like clusters or fans, making it a favourite ornamental tree among landscape designers.
Why it is a garden favourite
Its quiet presence evokes the calm of a Zen garden. Trunks and branches are carefully trained over many years, sometimes decades, giving each tree the character of a living sculpture and a distinctive place in the landscape.
The appeal of Podocarpus.
A symbol of longevity
In Japanese tradition, pine trees symbolise dignity and long life. They are also associated with beliefs about auspicious planting, positive energy and prosperity.
A sculptural focal point
Carefully shaped trunks and branches give the garden an expressive centrepiece, bringing a sense of refinement to the space.
Evergreen character
Podocarpus retains its foliage throughout the year, helping the garden stay green with less seasonal leaf clearing than deciduous trees.
Suited to Thailand
Selected trees can adapt well to Thailand’s warm climate and strong sunlight. Appropriate planting conditions and ongoing care support healthy growth over time.
Beautiful form. Thoughtful selection.
We see Podocarpus as living art. We import directly from quality farms in Japan and Taiwan, selecting each tree in person for its form. Our collection brings together healthy, carefully chosen trees for Japanese, modern and premium landscape designs.

Suitable for planting in Thailand

It works especially well in Japanese, minimalist and Mediterranean gardens. Its form adds depth and a focal point to home gardens, building entrances, hotels, resorts and premium landscape projects.
Is Podocarpus difficult to care for?
It is straightforward to care for when given enough sunlight, well-drained soil and appropriate watering. Periodic pruning helps maintain its form and healthy growth.
Can Podocarpus grow in Thailand?
Yes. Selection and acclimatisation matter. Olive de Casa chooses healthy trees suited to local planting conditions to support their adaptation and growth.
How does Taiwanese Podocarpus compare with Japanese ornamental pines?
With sufficient sunlight, good drainage and appropriate watering, Taiwanese Podocarpus generally requires less specialised care than Japanese ornamental pines. Its ability to adapt to Thailand’s warm, humid climate makes it popular for home and modern gardens.
How much does Podocarpus cost?
Prices start at THB 39,000 and vary with size, height, form and root condition. Larger specimens can cost more. Our team can advise on a tree that fits your space and budget.
Can I ask for advice before choosing a size?
Yes. Our team can help you choose the size, form and number of trees for your space, project and budget.
Can Japanese Podocarpus be grown in a pot?
Yes. A pot can emphasise the character of the trunk and suit balconies, patios and hardscape areas with limited planting soil. Choose a container with good drainage and an open, free-draining growing medium.
What affects the price of a Podocarpus tree?
The main factors include age, trunk size, form, origin and fullness of foliage. Prices also reflect the years of care and training invested by the grower.
