Perenniporia podocarpi is a species of resupinate (encrusting) polypore. It occurs widely but uncommonly on the New Zealand endemic podocarps Dacrydium cupressinum and Prumnopitys taxifolia. Basidiocarps are dimitic and grow up to 9 cm across, thick and cushion-like with a distinctive white or very pale cream spore surface with large pores. The basidiospores are extremely large for the genus, up to 27 μm in length.
Podocarpus are fertilized according to size. Trees with less than a 6-inch trunk diameter will require 2 to 3 pounds (4 to 6 level coffee cups) of a 6 - 6 - 6 type fertilizer or its equivalent, per inch of trunk diameter.
Pruning Podocarpus in the summer encourages secondary growth that is as attractive as new spring growth.
For best results, keep above 55 degrees. Podocarpus can be grown successfully indoors in a well-lit spot. Prefers temps between 61-68 degrees.
Podocarpus is related to yews, and as with yews, the stems, leaves, flowers, and pollen of Podocarpus are all poisonous. Additionally, the leaves, stems, bark, and pollen are cytotoxic.
