HILL EVERGREENS 
Upright Japanese Yew (Capitata) 
Trimmed Specimen 
Japanese Yew 
This is the seedling form from which many of the 
horticultural varieties offered on pages 28 to 33 have 
been developed. The picture below is typical of young 
trees. The foliage characteristics and the attractive 
red berries which are frequently seen on various 
Yews are shown in the colored illustration on the 
back cover of this price list. In the photograph at 
top of page is an older, trimmed specimen of the up¬ 
right Japanese Yew which has been trimmed and 
developed into compact, conical shape. 
Like all the Yews, the foliage is soft and flexible, 
dark green and waxy. They do well in deep shade or 
full sun.

A bulletin of the Arnold Arbore¬ 
tum states, “The Japanese Yew, 
for ornamental purposes, is the 
most useful narrow-leaved Ever¬ 
green for the climate of New 
England. In the Yew the younger 
green leaves are often tinged 
with yellowish bronze in a de¬ 
lightful contrast with the black- 
green of the older foliage. No 
matter what season of the year 
it is examined, it will be found 
a thing of beauty.”
