Podocarpus latifolius, also known as broad-leaved yellowwood or real yellowwood, is a large evergreen tree that can grow up to 35 meters in height and 3 meters in trunk diameter. It is part of the conifer family and is the type species of the genus Podocarpus. This tree is native to South Africa and has been declared the national tree of the country. It is protected in South Africa due to its exceptional quality wood and slow growth rate. The leaves of this tree are strap-shaped and have a bluntly pointed tip, with new growth standing out against the dark leaves of mature foliage. The tree produces berry-like cones with edible and sweet arils, and the male cones are used for pollination. Podocarpus latifolius is commonly found in afro-temperate forests and mountainous areas, and is the preferred host for the epiphytic orchid Solenangis conica. It is also popular as an ornamental tree in South African gardens. The wood of this tree is hard and used for furniture and panelling, but due to over-exploitation, it is now rarely cut. There is some debate over whether Podocarpus latifolius and Pod
