The feathery texture and shiny needles of Japanese plum yew have made this shrub one of my longtime favorites. This conifer offers a lot of bang for the buck with its rich, dark green foliage, which always looks good. Its spreading, mounded habit makes it an elegant foundation plant that doesn't require constant pruning, and it's extremely low on a deer's list of preferred foods.
