'''''Afrocarpus falcatus''''', commonly known as the '''Sickle-leaved Yellowwood''' and '''False Yellowwood''' (formerly also '''Outeniqua Yellowwood'''; syn. ''Podocarpus falcatus''), is a species of ''[[Afrocarpus]]'', native to montane forests of [[South Africa]], from [[Swellendam]] District of [[Western Cape Province]] to [[Limpopo Province]], and into southern [[Mozambique]]. When grown domestically, it is a medium-sized to large tree, reaching heights of 10-25 m, but can sometimes attain heights of up to 60 m - and live for hundreds of years - in its natural habitat. Mature trees have a rougher, scaly bark than that of younger trees. The [[leaf|leaves]] are spirally arranged, lanceolate or falcate (sickle-shaped) with a very sharp point, 2-4 cm long and 2-4 mm broad. [[Pollen]] cones and [[conifer cone|seed cones]] are found on trees of different gender. The [[conifer cone|seed cones]] are highly modified, with a single large seed with a thin fleshy coating borne on a short peduncle. The [[fruit]] takes a year to mature, turning yellow, and is dispersed by [[bird]]s and [[monkey]]s which eat the fleshy coating, a necessary step for growth since the flesh contains a germination inhibitor. The [[pollen]] cones are produced in clusters on short stems. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/>    ==External links== *{{wplink}} {{stub}} __NOTOC__
