Cephalotaxus harringtonia Gnome

Cephalotaxus harringtonia ‘Gnome’ is a true dwarf plum yew selected for its compact, rounded form and slow growth. With dark green, leathery needles and a naturally tidy habit, it makes an excellent low evergreen for foundations, shaded borders, and small gardens. It thrives in partial to full shade and adapts well to a range of soils as long as drainage is good. Hardy in USDA Zones 6–9, it typically reaches about 2–3 feet tall and wide over many years with minimal maintenance.
