Cephalotaxus (Japanese Plum Yew) - harringtonia Prostrata

Description: A low growing evergreen that prefers light to moderate shade and is extremely deer-resistant. (Do not confuse with regular yews which deer love and which cannot be grown south of zone7). It will mature at about 3 feet tall and about 4-5 feet wide. Prostrate Plum Yew is a slow grower (about 4 inches per year) and should require little pruning—although it can be easily pruned in early spring before the new growth begins. Year-round, Cephalotaxus has glossy, deep green needles borne on slightly arching branches, which give it a graceful appearance. Cephalotaxus will grow in full sun, although the needle color will be lighter green. As with many evergreens, cold winter wind and strong winter sun will cause temporary bronzing of the foliage. Its texture and neat habit will make a grouping the focal point in your garden, especially at the edge of a woodland, surrounding a patio, along a walkway or as part of a foundation planting.
