Plum Yews Have Excellent Deer Resistance
Deer been eating up nursery stock everywhere. Deer numbers are
rising in urban areas and many people have to switch from their
prized landscape favorites. One, the Taxus, is hard hit by the
deer. We offer a plant called the Plum Yew (Cephalotaxus
Harringtonia) which has shown to be deer resistant. Most
gardeners can't tell the difference between the two plant types.
Deer can, they avoid the Plum Yew. It requires moist well
drained soils, but is hardy in drier soils once established. The
Plum yew is also heat resistant and will do well in southern
gardens even in full sand. There are no serious pests except it
is reported to suffer some mite damage.
This are just afew of the many plant selections that we raise on
our Doylestown Pa. farm. We are pleased to show you these in the
field and discuss their habits and help you determine the best
plants to help you improve your landscape. Visit our other web
