Cephalotaxus / Plum Yew

Planted Cephalotaxus harringtonia 'Korean Gold' in 2015 along the east wall of the house. It's from Forestfarm.

This plum yew will make a dense, upright evergreen form along the flat wall. It's perfect for tight spaces, and its bright color is eye catching. It forms an inverted pyramid, narrower at the base.

Here's an example of a larger, fuller one -- at maturity it will be 6 feet tall or more, but it's a real slow grower and will take some time to get there.
