Zone: 5REPANDENS ENGLISH YEW
Taxus baccata 'Repandens', commonly known as Repandens English Yew, is a slow-growing evergreen conifer celebrated for its elegant, prostrate habit. As Repandens Yew grows, it develops a distinct, flat-topped shape with gracefully drooping branch tips that create a soft, cascading effect. Its foliage consists of dense, lustrous, dark-green needles that maintain their rich color throughout the year, even in winter. It is durable and tolerate of a wide range of environmental conditions which makes it a staple in temperate landscapes.
Taxus baccata 'Repandens' thrives in well-drained soil and adapts well in full sun to partial shade. It is not tolerant of 'wet feet' and can be drought tolerant once established. It is ideal for low-maintenance foundation plantings, serving as a lush groundcover or a structural 'skirt' around larger specimen trees.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in fertile, well-draining soil, selecting a location that ranges from full sun to full shade. These versatile evergreens are highly adaptable but thrive best in sites with protection from harsh, drying winds and excessive moisture, as they are susceptible to root rot in waterlogged conditions. Provide consistent water during the first growing season to ensure deep root establishment.
Prune as needed in late spring or early summer to maintain your desired form or density, as these shrubs respond exceptionally well to shearing. Apply a layer of organic mulch around the root zone to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, taking care to keep the material a few inches away from the crown to prevent stem rot.
