About Japanese Yew

Taxus cuspidata, commonly known as the Japanese yew, is a versatile and exceptionally hardy evergreen that functions as either a broad-columnar tree or a multi-stemmed shrub. It features dense, dark green needles with distinct yellow-tinged undersides and produces ornamental red arils on female plants. Highly valued for its tolerance of urban conditions and heavy pruning, it is a premier choice for formal hedges and topiary. It thrives in well-drained soils across sun or shade.
