One of if not the rarest plants we offer, the tree form Japanese Plum Yew is a small coniferous evergreen tree featuring handsome, needle-like, dark green leaves that are arranged on the leaf stems in a way that resembles fern fronds. The arching and pendulous leaf stems provide a very unique look and texture to the landscape. Like other Cephalotaxus, this one thrives in part shade to full shade. It is a slow to moderate grower reaching 8 to 10 feet in as many years and up to 20 to 30 feet over time if left unpruned. Extremely low maintenance and very easy to grow, it has a high tolerance for heat, and deep shade and is drought tolerant when established. Deer don't touch it.
