PYRAMIDAL JAPANESE YEW
Taxus cuspidata 'Capitata' is commonly referred to as Japanese Yew. It is a broad-columnar, pyramidal, slow-growing needled evergreen with rich, dark green foliage. Female plants may produce abundant berries that are attractive to birds and other wildlife.
The Japanese Yew is easy to grow and thrives in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils in full sun to partial shade. It can tolerate shady conditions, but not poor drainage. It tolerates pruning/shearing well and it is best done in early spring, although it can be any time of the year. Protection from cold, harsh winds is beneficial.

To help this plant settle in and thrive, we recommend these standard planting practices: Plant in well-draining soil with a slightly acidic pH. Water regularly, but avoid overwatering. Prune in late winter or early spring to maintain shape and promote healthy growth. Consider adding a layer of organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds.
