Growing and Maintenance Tips:


A versatile evergreen tolerating heavy pruning, making it ideal for hedges, screens, foundation plantings and topiary landscapes. It can also be left unpruned for a softer textured landscape. A columnar-growing cultivar, growing somewhat more slowly than 'Hicksii', making it a good vertical accent. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in exposed locations.

All parts of the plant are poisonous to human beings, dogs, cats, and horses. 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.

Additional Notes about Hill's Yew:


Mature taxus specimens have the ability to regrow from old wood; older specimens in the garden can be rejuvenated.
