Center Point, Iowa Shade Trees 
YEWS (TAXUS) are particularly valuable for planting in shady places and 
in cities where the smoky atmosphere is injurious to most evergreens. 
Their bright red fruits among the dark green leaves make them the most 
interesting of all evergreens in late summer. They stand much trimming, 
are long lived, and free from pests. Plant in the richest soil, well mixed 
with peat and humus. Need some shearing. They are of two general types: 
Spreading, which forms no leaders making a lower bush, and the upright 
or pyramidal form.
