The false yew, Cephalotaxus harringtonia ‘Gold Dragon’ is looking particularly lovely during the fall season here at JLBG. This is one of our six year old specimens. We find that half day sun seems to bring out the best color without foliar burn. Hardiness is Zone 6a-9b.
Lovely color and form. Have you done any pruning on this shrub, or is that its natural shape and size?
We never prune any shrub or trees for shaping, so this is its natural form.
