Harrington's plum yew is a needled evergreen shrub or small tree with an upright to arching and spreading habit. This native of Korea and Japan is yew-like in appearance and has glossy, flattened dark green needles with silvery bands on their undersides. It is technically coniferous, but much like true yews its round fruits have a fleshy, purple-red exterior. Fruits only exist on female plants and appear in late summer to fall.
Plum yew grows well in sandy, well drained soil. Where climates are cool it can be planted in full sun, but otherwise prefers partial sun to partial shade. Harrington's plum yew is heat tolerant and more shade tolerant than many conifers making it especially useful in southern gardens. It appreciates protection from strong winds, and looks best planted in masses along a foundation or in a large bed. It is a deer-resistant plant.

3. After the pretreatment, sow in individual pots or seed trays filled with sowing compost in deep of the seed size.
4. Keep in warm (+20-+22C / 68F) place. After the seeds sprouted, move to bright place.
