A versatile evergreen that can tolerate heavy pruning, making it ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, ground covers, bank retention and topiary landscapes. It can also be left unpruned for a softer textured landscape.
All parts of the plant are poisonous to human beings, dogs, cats, and horses, except the flesh of the basically tasteless berry. The hard seed inside the berry is also poisonous. Unfortunately, the poison does not seem to affect deer.
If there's one genus at this nursery that doesn't like to be dropped from any height, it's a Taxus. Be nice.
Mature taxus specimens have the ability to regrow from old wood; older specimens in the garden can be rejuvenated.
