SPREADING JAPANESE YEW 
(Taxus Cuspidata) 
TAXUS (Yew) 
Yews are strictly ornamental and have (Taxus Intermedia) 
a wide range of uses. Best for shady spots. 
Foliage is rich very deep green and at- 
tractive. The coldest winters or the bit- 
terest of winds never injure their foliage. 
Best subject for hedges. If not allowed to 
suffer from dry weather, development is 
rapid. Most varieties of Yews produce a 
quantity of red berries in late fall. Trees 
shear easily and can be trimmed in many 
forms without injury to plants. 
Yews are important for landscape pur- 
poses. Considering their shapes in rela- 
tion to the planting job you have to do, 
they lend themselves beautifully to open 
park planting by using the upright Taxus 
Capitata which can be kept to any desired 
height by shearing. If your planting is 
more limited Hicksi is perhaps the answer. 
If low plantings you need Kelseyi, Browni, 
or Andersoni grow to about 6 to 8 feet. 
Brevifolia is the smallest and densest grow- 
ing Yew we grow, attaining 4 to 6 feet in 
height. 
There are from 150 to 200 varieties of 
yews known to be in existence. We are
