Japanese Yew (Upright Type) 
Japanese Yew 
T HIS tree was originally brought to America 
from Japan. It has been established in 
America long enough now so that it has be¬ 
come a favorite tree in our northern states. 
From time immemorial it has been cultivated in 
Japan, where it is looked upon as a valuable tree 
in Japanese landscape art. The growth is close, 
compact and possesses a certain richness in appear¬ 
ance which marks it distinct from all other types 
of Evergreens. 
It has the typical, waxy, shiny green leaves of 
Yews. It is an especially desirable tree for founda¬ 
tion groups, formal gardens, rockeries, and similar 
positions where trees need to be kept within certain 
bounds. 
We offer both in the Japanese Yew, the upright, 
branched form which develops a leader, as shown 
in the picture to the left, and the spreading type 
pictured below. 
The importance of this tree for permanent plant¬ 
ings cannot be over-emphasized. In positions where 
trees must remain for many years with little atten¬ 
tion, such trees are found to prove of great value.

Spreading Japanese Yew 
This tree is rapidly becoming popular in the middle west, replacing other varieties for 
many uses. All Yews endure shade better than any other Evergreens. We cannot recom¬ 
mend Yews too highly. Growth is rapid, branches sometimes reaching 12 to 18 inches in 
a season when the tree is established and has favorable growing conditions.
