‘Margarita’ (‘Greers’)—With a name like this, who wouldn’t want to plant one! Foliage keeps a cool lime-green color throughout the season giving it a brighter appearance. Plant as many as you like and we promise, no hangovers! Height 4-5’, spread 5-7’.
‘Taunton’—One of the toughest forms around, selected for outstanding winter hardiness. Also happens to be one of the best performers for hot climates. Height 3-4’, spread 4-6’.
‘Wardi’ (‘Wardii’)—A very dense spreading form, similar to ‘Densiformis’, but smaller in habit. Dark green foliage and bright red fruit. Height 3-4’, spread 3-5’.

Japanese Plum Yew
(Cephalotaxus harriongtonia)—Similar in appearance to the well-known Yew, but actually a distantly related cousin. Once established, this species is known to be more heat and drought tolerant than traditional Yews. It may tolerate a little more sun, but we would still recommend a slightly shaded site for best results. We are probably at about the edge of its northern range so we would encourage using it sparingly. Size will vary by selection.
NEW!—‘Duke Gardens’—A compact, spreading sport from ‘Fastigiata’ discovered many years ago at the Duke Gardens in Durham, NC. Lustrous, deep green color, good sun and heat tolerance and good winter hardiness. A female form that will bear a small plum-like fruits if a male pollinator available. Height 3-5’, spread 3-5’.
‘Prostrate’ (‘Prostrata’)— A low, wide-spreading form. Height 2-3’, spread 4-5’.


Japanese Yew
(Taxus cuspidata)—The Japanese Yew gives us many popular landscape plants. They should be planted in a shaded site in very well drained soil. All are very tolerant of pruning.
‘Capitata’—This is a very common pyramidal form that is often kept small by yearly pruning, but can be allowed to grow more naturally and achieve a greater size. Height and spread will depend on culture.
‘Captain’ (‘Fastigiate’)—A selection of ‘Capitata’ with a faster growth rate and a more uniform habit. Holds green color well through the winter. Can be trimmed to control size and shape. Height 10-15’, spread 6-8’.
‘Dwarf Bright Gold’—A bright golden-yellow form with a nice spreading habit. Individual needles have green and yellow stripes. A great plant for brightening up a shady spot! Height 3-5’, spread 3-5’.
‘Dwarf Golden’ (‘Nana Aurescens’)—A compact, spreading selection with vibrant, bright, sunny-yellow new growth in the spring. Foliage turns rich dark green as the season progresses. An eye-catching plant, great for adding vibrant color to the shade garden. Height 3-5’, spread 3-5’.
‘Emerald Spreader’ (‘Monloo’)—An ideal dwarf selection for areas where height is limited. Dark green foliage and red berries. Height 2-3’, spread 4-5’.
