<\/b>Podocarpus elongatus<\/i> (Breede River Yellowwood<\/b>) is a species of conifer<\/font><\/a> in the Podocarpaceae<\/font><\/a> family. Unlike the other Yellowwoods of Southern Africa, Podocarpus elongatus<\/i> grows as an enormous, round, multi-stemmed bush.<\/div>\n

It can be distinguished from the other Yellowwood species of Southern Africa by its relatively elongated, grey-blue leaves (hence its species name “elongatus”<\/i>), and by its round, bushy shape. It is generally as wide as it is tall. This is the only one of South Africa’s <\/font>Yellowwoods<\/font><\/a> that <\/font>coppice<\/font><\/a> when the trunk is damaged. As it is a riverine species, this ability to coppice is an adaptation to survive being knocked down by floods.<\/font><\/div>\n
It is found only in <\/font>South Africa<\/font><\/a>. <\/font>As a garden tree it is sometimes grown as an ornamental feature, with fruits that attract birds.<\/font> It is more hardy than the other Yellowwoods of South Africa. The Breede River Yellowwood is a protected tree in South Africa.<\/font>[<\/span>1<\/font>]<\/span><\/font><\/font><\/a><\/sup>\u00a0<\/div>\n
