Yew : Podocarpus

Creamy white clusters of male flowers appear in early summer, followed by edible reddish purple fall fruits. This shrub has a full, lush, pyramidal form created by its leathery leaves with paler undersides.

These evergreen subtropical trees and shrubs are grown outdoors in the warmest regions of the U.S. for their attractive foliage. If planted near a male pollinizer, female trees bear fleshy red fruits. Use them as hedges, high screens or in groves. Need shade in hot climates. Stake when young until trunk develops. Prune to any shape.
