The arching and pendulous leaf stems provide a very unique look and texture in the landscape. Reddish brown bark on mature branches exfoliates with age. Like other Cephalotaxus, this one thrives in part shade to full shade in the hot South, but will take full sun in cooler climates of the Northwest. It is a slow to moderate grower reaching 8 to 10 feet tall and wide in as many years and up to 15 feet over time if left unpruned. Has a more open look when young but becomes more dense with age and\/or with pruning. Extremely low maintenance and very easy to grow, it is drought tolerant when established and deer nor insects or disease have touched it in our gardens.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe specific epithet \u003ci\u003efortunei \u003c\/i\u003ehonors Robert Fortune (1812-1880), a Scottish botanist and plant collector who introduced this plant to Britain in 1848.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eIn case you were wondering, plants in the genus \u003ci\u003eCephalotaxus\u003c\/i\u003e are commonly called \"plum yews\" because the foliage resembles that of yews (\u003ci\u003eTaxus\u003c\/i\u003e) and the fruits on female plants resemble tiny plums.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLandscape \u0026amp; Garden Uses\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003eThe Fortune's Plum Yew Tree is ideal for use as a specimen or small groupings in shady landscape or woodland borders and home foundation plantings.
