Taxus cuspidata (Japanese Yew) 
The Yews are fast becoming popular in America, both for 
their fine shiny waxy foliage and ability to stand various 
planting conditions, including dense shade. This valuable Yew 
has been cultivated throughout Japan from time immemorial, 
and introduced into America many years ago, having taken 
its place as one of the most noteworthy and valuable on the 
entire list. Originating in the cold, high altitudes of Northern 
Japan from where we obtain our seed, it is found fully able 
to successfully withstand extremes of heat and cold in 
America. Grows close, upright and compact. Foliage dark 
green, fruit bright scarlet. The development of the trees 
depends upon growing conditions but as it can be very easily 
trimmed it is suited for almost any landscape need.

Japanese Yew (Upright Type) 
Taxus cuspidata (Spreading Japanese Yew) 
When grown from seed the Japanese Yew develops a single stem 
and grows in the manner shown in the picture above. However, when 
grown from cuttings, it develops a broad, low, bushy form as pictured 
below. This form, of course, has many valuable uses in landscaping. 
The strain which we offer is one of particularly rapid growth and com¬ 
pact close-growing habit. It has a rather light green foliage as com¬ 
pared to some of the Yews. All forms of the Japanese Yew are of 
unusual hardiness, making it a valuable and dependable tree for almost 
any section of the country, except in the extreme south.
