Evergreen Taxus (Dense Spreading Yew)
Color Name: Densiformis
This dense, low, spreading shrub is an excellent basic foundation planting for a hedge, screen or border. The dark green foliage backs scarlet-colored, berry-like cones. A versatile and durable evergreen that provides year-round interest in the landscape and tolerates shearing well.
Densiformis is a wide-growing evergreen that combines well with more upright growers in the mixed border or in an island planting in the lawn. Since it takes part shade, it can easily be used under a tree.
* Deer resistant
* Easy to grow
* Deep green foliage is very attractive with great texture
* Compact and vase shaped
* Drought tolerant
Growing Tips: Provide evenly moist, well-drained soil with protection from harsh, drying winds. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates drought. Fertilize before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape.
