Does anyone recognize this tree? I can't for the life of me remember the name and it's driving me crazy! I have pictures of this plant in a folder somewhere on my laptop but I have tons of folders, all labeleled with both common and scientific names and I think the folder for this tree must have accidentally gotten put inside another folder, which has happened a time or two. I've scrolled and scrolled and finally gave up. I know I will come across it inside another folder some day but meanwhile I'm wracking my brain trying to remember the name! It's a tree that was growing here when we bought the house a little over 2 years ago and I'm wanting my husband to transplant it. The former owners planted it right up next to the house along with along with a Schefflera actinophylla that desperately needs to come out!

I took a few pictures this afternoon trying to show the growth habit, bark and leaves and I'm hoping someone can help with the identity:

Hi Lin,

Is that Podocarpus macrophyllus?

Hi Dave!

Thank you so much! Yep, that's exactly what it is. We have the one tall and some smaller ones around the house. I'd uploaded photo's to the database awhile back: Buddhist Pine (Podocarpus macrophyllus)

E komo mai!

You're very welcome!

Have a great day!

Aloha, Dave
