Taxus x media 'Tauntonii' is commonly referred to as Taunton Yew. This dwarf hybrid Yew is a cross between the English Yew (Taxus baccata) and the Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata). It features a dense, dwarf, multi-stemmed, spreading habit with dark green needled foliage that shows resistance to winter burn. It reaches 3-4 feet tall with a 5-6 foot spread.
Taunton Yew thrives in both sun and shade in average, evenly moist, well-drained soils. It is ideal in foundation plantings as a small hedge or in shrub borders.

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.
