I just sold my lot, so I wanted to update this post about the trees. About half have died. The rest are still very small. I have had to spray weed killer periodically around the trees to give them a chance. If I had to do it all over again, I would only buy 10 large podocarpus and plant each in a large mound of mulch and cinder. I also planted some other cuttings into rotting tree trunks- and these seem to be doing better than anything.
