Description
Cephalotaxus (Plum Yew) is a slow-growing, evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its dense, dark green foliage and graceful habit. Plum Yews are excellent for hedges, foundation plantings, or specimen plantings where an elegant, low-maintenance evergreen is desired.
Foliage consists of soft, needle-like leaves that remain deep green year-round. The plant has a naturally pyramidal to rounded form depending on species and cultivar, and it tolerates shade to part sun, making it ideal for woodland or mixed garden plantings.
