Aloha,
Just planted 24 podocarpus (podocarpi? Podocarpuses?) in my yard. They are all 2.5 to 3 ft high. A city boy from way back, still trying to get my thumb to turn green. My questions for the veteran gardeners out there:
1) Any special fertilizer to get the keiki going? (I chopped holes into the rocky ground, planted, filled each whole with rich,smelly jungle muck, and topped it all off with black cinder)
2) Any other threats to my podo-keiki that I should be aware of?
3) Any good pruning guidelines to raise thick, green (private) hedges?
Thanks in advance!
