Taxus cuspidata nana pyramidalis hilli (Hill Pyramidal Yew) 
This is a pyramidal form introduced by the Hill Nursery. It is a 
tree of very slow growth, compact habit and conical outline. Foliage 
is very dark green and heavy resembling the foliage of the Dwarf 
Japanese Yew. This tree has been on the market for a number of years 
and we have many customers who have purchased it year after year. 
There are in the trade various selected forms of the Upright Japanese 
Yew, most of which have outstanding merit either in form, color or 
foliage. The Hill Pyramidal Yew is a very worthwhile variety for any¬ 
one desiring to increase their stock of upright growing forms.

Taxus media hicksi (Hick’s Yew) 
This is a columnar form with branches ascending almost vertically. 
One of the older horticultural varieties introduced and named for the 
Hick’s Nursery. Although this tree is included in the Taxus Media 
group by some authorities, it is according to Hick’s Nursery a horti¬ 
cultural form of Taxus Cuspidata. The growing habit varies a great 
deal with the method of trimming. It may be grown into an extremely 
narrow cigar shape or allowed to develop into broader specimens. It 
makes a good tree for narrow hedges.
