Duke Gardens Plum Yew Care
When caring for a Duke Gardens Plum Yew Tree, make sure to water it regularly, especially during dry spells. These trees do not tolerate standing water, so be sure to plant them in a location with good drainage. Fertilizing the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer once a year can also promote healthy growth. These trees prefer partial shade and well-draining soil, so it is best to plant them in an area that receives a few hours of direct sunlight each day and is protected from heavy rainfall and standing water. Other factors to consider when choosing the planting site include water availability, nearby plants or structures, and proximity to power lines and underground utilities. Mulching around a Duke Gardens Plum Yew Tree can help to retain moisture, suppress weeds, and regulate soil temperature, all of which can contribute to the overall health and growth of the tree.
Pruning is generally not necessary for the Duke Gardens Plum Yew, as it has a naturally neat and tidy shape. However, if the tree becomes overgrown or develops any damaged or diseased branches, you can trim them back to maintain the tree's overall health.
Duke Gardens Plum Yew Spacing
The Duke Gardens Plum Yew Tree can grow up to 5 feet tall and wide, so space it about 5 feet apart, center on center, to allow it to reach its mature size.

The warranty is purchased on a per plant basis and must be purchased at the same time as the plant(s). We will cover 100% of the price of the plant, but the warranty does not cover shipping costs.

Plant Shipping
Below are some factors we consider when determining when to ship the plants depending on the timing of the order.
Winter to Early Spring
We ship only when it's warm enough to plant in your growing zone.
Sometimes plants aren't completely ready to sell and ship in early spring. We will wait until the plants are ready before shipping so you don't get a subpar product.
For Southern plants we will be able to ship much earlier than plants coming from our northern nursery.
Summer
If there is extreme heat we may delay shipping for a week or several weeks.
We review what areas the plants are traveling through as well as your location.
Fall into Winter
We’ll ship plants out all the way up to the end of the fall planting season!
Winter
Get your order in early to reserve your plants for Spring planting!
Once your plant is shipped you’ll receive an automated email with tracking information.
