The Spreading Plum Yew is a versatile beauty that is guaranteed to solve a problem or two in your landscape. One of its greatest selling points is its sun tolerance. It's tolerant of heavy shade to full sun. Therefore, there's a good chance it'll do well wherever you need it. It has dark green, fern-like pointed leaves that provide consistent coverage all year long. It's a slow grower that reaches only 2-3 feet tall and 3-4 feet wide. So, maintenance is generally unnecessary or seldom at worst. This is a perfect low element in a mixed garden bed, or as a mass planting in a large shady area. This variety is hardy from USDA Zones 6-9. It prefers average quality garden soils with good drainage. Water your new plantings 2-3 times per week for the first growing season. Afterward, it is notably water-wise. These Spreading Plum Yews are well-matured into their pots. They will tend to be 8-14 inches tall with a wider spread when shipped.
