Common name:
Duke Gardens Japanese plum-yew
Family:
Taxaceae (yew family)
Distribution:
Species native to Japan and Korea
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 5
Life form:
Evergreen shrub
Comments:
A dense evergreen conifer shrub with dark, glossy green needles that keeps its density with age. It grows 4-5' tall and wide in a spreading, mounding habit with slightly upswept branches. Nice specimen or in the foundation or mixed border. A good, hardy substitute for the common yew, combining shade and drought tolerance of the latter but unique for its resistance to deer browse.
