Taxus cuspidata (Spreading Japanese Yew) 
This type is usually propagated from cuttings. This fact accounts for the great variation which ex- 
ists 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 being corrected is the belief that the Japanese Yews are of 
questionable hardiness. Here in the Hill Nursery we have severe 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.

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 selected 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 form of a fleshy cup-shaped scarlet berry. The male 
and female flowers are produced on separate trees. In order to have fruiting specimens the trees must 
be planted in groups.
