Japanese Yew (taxus cuspidata) 
The most useful and popular evergreen 
in horticulture. Hardy to Zone III. A 
tree to (usually) 15 ft., but slowly in¬ 
creases to perhaps 40 ft. Stands damp, 
dry, sunny, shady, acid or ordinary gar¬ 
den conditions. Hence very easy to 
grow. Makes naturally a bushy root 
system and is doubtless the easiest ever¬ 
green to transplant. Rich dark green 
needles.
