Podocarpus costalis range
Podocarpus costalis, locally known as Arius,[2] is a species of conifer in the family Podocarpaceae. It is native to the Philippines and Taiwan.[1]
This plant is a shrublike tree which grows in island scrub, low forest, and bluff habitat. It is also widely cultivated as a garden plant.[1] It is used in bonsai.[1] The fruit is edible.[2]
One threat to the survival of wild populations is overcollecting for horticulture; this practice is illegal throughout its native range.[1]
