The Upright Japanese Plum Yew (Cephalotaxus harringtonia ‘Fastigiata’) is a versatile, evergreen shrub admired for its elegant, vertical growth habit and finely textured, dark green foliage. This resilient plant forms narrow, columnar shapes, making it ideal for use as a hedge, screen, or specimen in smaller spaces. Its soft, needle-like leaves provide year-round interest, while the plant’s adaptability to shade and drought tolerance make it a low-maintenance option for many gardens.
Thriving in partial to full shade and well-drained soils, the Upright Japanese Plum Yew is perfect for adding structure and depth to shaded landscapes. With its deer resistance and slow, steady growth, it’s a reliable choice for both formal and informal gardens. Whether used to frame entryways or as a striking vertical accent, this yew adds a sophisticated touch of greenery to any setting.
