Description
A very handsome selection of the Japanese Plum Yew that arose in the botanical gardens of Duke University, creating a tight, flattened mound of large, glossy, deep green foliage, like a vigorous, tetraploidal English Yew, ultimately to 4 ft. x 5 ft. Shared with us by head gardener and our friend Paul Jones. The textural quality of this shrub is superb and it deserves greater recognition across N. America. Full sun or partial shade.
