    The slow-growing (to 4"/year) dwarf-plant of open, irregular habit is densely covered with tiny rounded needles on yellow-green stems. S-PSh/M

    Has a distinctive rounded needle. The dark foliage looks different than any other conifer. T.b. ‘Amersfoot’ always draws attention.

    This dwarf English Yew would be perfect for bonsai; it is unusual in that the needles are tiny round and fat. It is incredibly slow growing. zone 6

    RARE! A curious and small, irregularly shaped plant with nearly round leathery leaves…most 'Un-Taxus' like! Stems are curving-erect, eventually (slowly) can reach 7'h x 3'w - Sun to moderate shade, average soil & water – A sculptural specimen that every plant collector should have.

    A bizarre antler-like sport of the common Yew found oddly enough on the grounds of the Insane Asylum in Holland for which it is named. This is one crazy plant. (sorry) Open strikingly architectural growth habit with such strict attention to lines and form as to be compulsive. (sorry again)
