Nageia nagi, the Asian bayberry, is plant species in the family Podocarpaceae named by Carl Peter Thunberg.

Nageia nagi is a hardy tree species that can withstand a range of weather conditions, but it prefers moist sites that are well drained and with full sunlight to light shade.

[3] The trees range from fifteen to twenty meters in height and are relatively slow growing.

The branches also start out as green but as they age they become reddish brown and peel in small layers.

For their permanent position, they should be planted in late spring or early summer after the last frost.
