Lohans Pine, also known as Podocarpus macrophyllus, is a common tree species used in Japanese Zen gardens, known as 'kare-sansui' or 'dry landscape.' These gardens emphasize the use of rocks, sand, and sometimes plants like the Lohans Pine to convey natural scenery through minimalistic design. The Lohans Pine's ability to withstand harsh conditions and its traditional symbolism of strength and wisdom make it a suitable choice for these gardens.
