Latin Name:  Phyllocladus aspleniifolius
Common Name:  Celery top pine
Family:  Podocarpaceae
Author:  (Labill.)Hook.f.

Known Hazards:  None known

Mature Height:  10   Mature Width:  5

Habitat:  Rainforests and lighter Eucalyptus forests in rich humid situations[11, 156].

Cultivation Notes: Prefers a good loamy soil containing leaf mold[1]. Succeeds in a good open soil but if it is to thrive it needs copious rainfall, high humidity and warmer conditions than are normally found in Britain[11, 200]. Plants are hardy to at least -7°c in Australian gardens[157], though this cannot be translated directly to British gardens due to our cooler summers and longer colder and wetter winters. They might succeed outdoors in the milder areas of Britain but are very slow growing in cultivation[81].
