Description

The Icee Blue Fern Pine is a stunning color breakthrough, prized for its cool, silvery-blue foliagethat adds a sophisticated, year-round cool-toned accent to the landscape. Unlike the common green form, this selection offers a dense, pyramidal habit draped in soft, fern-like blue-gray leaves. It's exceptionally heat and drought-tolerant once established, making it a resilient and eye-catching choice for a specimen, screen, or large container in sunny, warm climates.

  • Distinguished by its unique silvery-blue to blue-gray, fern-like foliage, providing exceptional color contrast.

  • Grows with a dense, pyramidal to rounded form with gracefully weeping branchlets.

  • Highly drought and heat tolerant, making it an excellent water-wise choice for California and similar climates.

  • Fast-growing compared to many Podocarpus, reaching 15-25 feet.

  • Works beautifully as a specimen tree, pruned into a hedge, or trained as an espalier.

  • The cool foliage color is most pronounced in full sun.

Faqs

Q: Does it keep its blue color in shade?
A: The blue color is best and most intense in full sun. In partial to full shade, the foliage will tend to be more greenish-blue or gray-green.

Q: Is it messy?
A: It is relatively clean. Like other fern pines, it may drop some foliage and small fruiting structures, but it is not considered a messy tree. Its non-invasive roots are also a bonus.
