Cephalotaxus harringtonia, commonly called plum yew, is a dioecious coniferous evergreen that typically grows as a shrub to 5-10' tall, but may be trained as a tree that could eventually rise to as much as 20-30' tall. Growth is slow, however, and it often takes as much as 10 years for a plant to reach 4' tall.
