Henkel’s Yellowwood (Henkel Se Geelhout) #

Podocarpus henkelii

A graceful South African evergreen with long, slender, dark green leaves, giving it a lush, tropical appearance.
Known for its upright, columnar growth, it makes an excellent feature tree or screen in cool, mistbelt gardens and forest-style plantings.
Native to the Eastern Cape and KwaZulu-Natal, it provides dense cover for birds and wildlife, supporting local biodiversity.
Though slow-growing at first, it becomes long-lived and surprisingly frost-tolerant once established.
