Live in a rainforest, get wet feet.
Would that be
Podocarpus macrophyllus
.

Hmm, we used to have
Buddhist Pine (
Podocarpus macrophyllus
)
and the growth habit was totally different than the weeping variety. I still have a
Weeping Podocarpus (
Afrocarpus gracilior
)
in the yard which is what the plant in Paul's photos reminded me of with that weeping/drooping habit.

Thanks Lin, I'm only familiar with the one type. Famous for hedges here.
Been feeling kinda weepy & droopy myself.

You're better off here, Dave. I won't be renewing on DG again. That was the last straw.

Sorry. I should have known by the plants in the background.
But, I wish I knew why people are so secretive and reluctant to give any information that might help with identification....
One would think they would want as accurate an ID as possible.
