Cephalotaxus harringtonia

Cephalotaxus harringtonia, commonly known as the Japanese plum yew, is an evergreen shrub or small tree native to Japan and Korea. It is known for its lush, dark green, needle-like foliage and its adaptability to various growing conditions. This plant is often used in shaded gardens and can serve as a unique alternative to traditional yews.

This plant is ideal for shaded garden areas, woodland gardens, and as an understory plant. It can also be used as a hedge or screen due to its dense foliage.
