Podocarpus nivalis 'Aureus'
Low growing, almost prostrate shrub. This selection has small leathery gold-green leaves. It has wide spreading branches which often form roots at the tips, thus helping to stabilise steep alpine slopes. Red berries in the autumn. Very hardy, avoid very dry sites. Found naturally in sub alpine parts of New Zealand, although can grow at low altitude as well
