Cephalotaxus is a genus of coniferous evergreen shrubs and trees in the family Cephalotaxaceae. These plants are commonly known as plum yews due to the similarity of their foliage to that of true yews (Taxus spp.). Cephalotaxus species are native to East Asia, including Japan, China, and Taiwan. They are valued for their attractive, needle-like leaves and adaptability to various growing conditions. Here are some key features and information about Cephalotaxus 'Fritz Huber':

  1. Foliage: The needle-like leaves of Cephalotaxus are arranged spirally along the stems. The foliage is typically dark green, and resemble the true Yews (Taxus.)

  2. Growth Habit: 'Fritz Huber' will reach 3 to 4 feet tall with a similar width. The growth rate of these plants are considered slow.

  3. Cones: Cephalotaxus produces cones that are not true cones in the botanical sense but rather seed-bearing structures with fleshy, berry-like coverings. The "cones" are often red or purple and add ornamental interest.

  4. Cultivation: Cephalotaxus species are adaptable to a range of soil types but prefer well-draining soil. They can tolerate both sun and shade but generally do well in partial shade. Once established, they are often drought-tolerant.

  5. Landscaping Uses: Cephalotaxus 'Fritz Huber' is used in landscaping for their attractive foliage and versatility. They can be employed as foundation plants, ground covers, or specimen plants.

  6. Hardiness: 'Fritz Huber' can withstand a considerable amount of climates. Hardy in USDA Zones 6 to 10.

  7. Pruning: Pruning is generally well-tolerated by Cephalotaxus, and it can be done to shape the plants or control their size. Pruning is typically carried out in late winter or early spring.

  8. Pests and Diseases: Cephalotaxus plants are generally resistant to many pests and diseases.
