Discover the captivating allure of Cephalotaxus sinensis, commonly known as Chinese Plum Yew, an elegant and versatile shrub perfect for enhancing any landscape. This evergreen beauty, with its forest-green needles that emerge light green in spring, maintains its vibrant color year-round, becoming a stunning focal point no matter the season. Growing up to 15 feet tall with a spread of equal width, its upright, spreading habit and fine, delicate texture make it an impeccable choice for accent planting, mass planting, hedges, and general garden use.

As a low-maintenance shrub, Chinese Plum Yew thrives in both full sun and shade, tolerating a range of conditions from moderately high altitudes in its native China to urban environments. Notably hardy in zones 7-9, it withstands severe pruning and severe weather, although some protection from extreme cold is recommended. This heat-tolerant species is also deer-resistant, ensuring its longevity in diverse settings. Enhance your garden with the Chinese Plum Yew’s distinctive charm—a truly remarkable addition to any landscape project.
