Description
Yew – Hicks (Taxus × media 'Hicksii') is a versatile and resilient evergreen shrub, perfect for creating structure and year-round interest in the landscape. This upright, vase-shaped conifer features dense, ferny green foliage that emerges bright in spring and matures to a rich, dark green. Its narrow, columnar habit makes it an excellent choice for hedging, privacy screens, or formal borders, and it tolerates pruning exceptionally well.
Hardy in zones 5–9, Hicks Yew thrives in full sun to full shade and prefers well-draining soil with regular watering. Its adaptability is unmatched—one of the few evergreens that flourishes in deep shade—while its showy red drupes in fall add seasonal color. Reaching a mature height of 18 feet and width of 10 feet, this low-maintenance conifer is highly favored by gardeners and landscapers for its reliability, year-round beauty, and exceptional performance in challenging conditions.
Each plant comes with the roots balled & burlapped. The image shown represents an example of what you may receive. Please note that the height, shape, and fullness of each plant may vary due to natural growth patterns. Rest assured, we will select the healthiest and most vibrant plant for you.
