Taxus cuspidata capitata Taxus cuspidata 
(Upright Japanese Yew) (Spreading Japanese Yew) 
Taxus cuspidata capitata (Upright Japanese Yew) 
Seedling form of the native Yew of Japan growing in an upright habit. Some trees are single 
stemmed, others have a tendency to produce many stems. For some uses the single stem is more 
desirable and trees can be grown in either way with careful attention to early pruning. Generally grown 
from seed. Although some selectd types have been reproduced by other means, There are numerous 
horticultural variations of this tree listed in this catalog. Like all the Yews, this form is able to survive 
a dense shade but will also grow in sunny locations. 
All of the Japanese Yews have certain characteristics in common. The needles are all quite similar in 
appearance. They produce their fruit in the fovm of a fleshy cup-shaped scarlet berry. The male and 
the female flowe s are produced on separate trees. In order to have fruiting specimens the trees must 
be planted in groups.

Taxus cuspidata (Spreading Japanese Yew) 
This type is usually propagated from cuttings. This fact accounts for the g eat variation which 
exists in different strains sold under this name. Some are lower growers than others and the color 
varies. The rate of growth is also a distinct point of difference. In general this type is wider than tall, 
branching out from the bottom with several stems and developing into a low bushy formation. 
An unfounded opinion which is rapidly beeing corrected is the belief that the Japanese Yews are 
of questionable hardiness. Here in the Hill Nursery we have seve e extremes of temperature ranging 
from 100 degrees in the summer to a normal 15 degrees below zero in the winter. The Japanese Yews 
have not suffered unduly from our conditions of climate.

This is one of the newer varieties introduced and named for Mr. Ward of the Cottage Gardens 
Nursery, Long Island, New York. It is a spveading type with slightly crinkled foliage giving it a 
distinct appearance. the color is deep green and attractive. The form is spreading, growing from many 
stems at the base. We have had this variety in our Nursery for several yeas and intend to continue it 
as one of our regular form of Yews.
