Plum yew is a slow-growing, evergreen genus with a moderate care profile. Basic care includes partial shade to full sun exposure, regular watering, soil rich in organic matter, and prefers temperatures between 13-24°C. Common challenges comprise pests like mites, aphids, scale insects, and fungal diseases. Seasonal considerations include protection from intense heat during summers and cold winters, excess moisture in spring can lead to root rot, and in autumn, mature plants may require pruning.
