Cephalotaxus Duke Gardens (Japanese Plum Yew) is a non-flowering evergreen conifer shrub with a spreading, mounded habit. Cephalotaxus Duke Gardens features glossy needle-like foliage that emerges bright green and matures to deep green, holding its color through winter. If edible fruits are desired, Cephalotaxus Duke Gardens requires both a female plant and a male pollinator. This adaptable shrub prefers partial sun and rich, well-drained soils and is heat and drought tolerant once established. Cephalotaxus Duke Gardens makes an excellent foundation planting or specimen for shade gardens.
