Fritz Huber Japanese Plum Yew is a low-growing evergreen conifer shrub with a spreading habit and soft-to-the-touch dark green needle-like foliage that spiral along the stems. If the edible fruits are desired, both a female plant and male pollinator are required. Prefers partial sun and rich well-drained soils. Tolerates drought, heat, and full shade.
