Upright Japanese Plum Yew is a carefree slow-growing evergreen conifer shrub with an exceptionally dense upright habit. Its glossy needle-like foliage is a deep blackish-green and grows in a bottlebrush form and retains it's 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.
