    This fantastic 8-20' shrub yew is smaller and slower-growing than the species. It has lovely upright branching, thicker deep-green needles and a denser overall habit. The long, thin, strap-like needles add lovely texture to the garden. With its very neat appearance it is perfect for either formal or Japanese gardens. This shrub makes a great container plant which can also be used indoors. Very deer resistant, the foliage and red berries of this plant are mildly poisonous. S/M

    Slow-growing evergreen, columnar shrub to small tree with dark green, needle-like leaves in spirals on upright branches. Reaches 20-30' tall x 10-12' wide, but only after a very long time. A very handsome, fine-textured garden accent or hedge in sun to part shade where soil is well-drained. Accepts summer water but, once established, tolerates some drought. Frost hardy in USDA zone 7.
