Scott Wallace Japanese Plum Yew is a low-growing evergreen conifer shrub with a spreading habit. Bright green new growth emerges with a peculiar sag that resembles pendular flowers that straighten as they mature to dark green. Mature foliage retains its color year-round. If the edible fruits are desired, both a female plant and male pollinator are required. Prefers partial sun and rich well-drained soils. Drought tolerant once established.
