Podocarpus nivalis 'Kilworth Cream'
alpine totara
- Position: full sun
- Soil: moist, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: slow-growing
- Hardiness: fully hardy
An interesting addition to the winter garden (when the colour of the creamy green foliage intensifies), this slow growing, dwarf conifer forms a natural dome shape that lends itself well to pots, alpine beds and front of border positions. It's also attractive each spring, when the new foliage emerges with a pink flush. - Garden care: They do not require any pruning, however any shoots that spoil the symmetry throughout the year. Protect from cold, drying winds.
