This seems like an interesting plant that can tolerate the shade in our front
yard:
https://pfaf.org/user/Plant.aspx?LatinName=Cephalotaxus+harringtonia+nana
(or any cultivars of Cephalotaxus harringtonia)
However... it isn't self-fertile. Other resources go on to identify that a male plant is needed, not just another cultivar for biodiversity. Because these named cultivars everyone is selling are likely female grown from cuttings, I can't simply buy two.
Aside from starting a bunch from seed and waiting a decade to spot the male, does anyone know where male pollinators of these
trees can be purchased? Within the EU would be lovely. Honestly, I am a little bewildered that they are stated to be such a decent
permaculture plant and yet I cannot find them for sale in anything other than an ornamental context.
There are a lot of vendors (
https://www.goedkopeolijfbomen.nl/cephalotaxus-harr-fastigiata/ ) of these trees, but in my four-hour search I cannot find anyone offering up a known male counterpart. I'm starting to think I'm missing something here!
Does anyone have any fruiting Japanese Plum Yews? If so, how'd you get there?
