The Densiformis Yew is a landscaper favorite. This plant does well in part sun but also thrives in full shade where many other evergreens struggle. Low-maintenance once established, this mid sized shrub stays a rich green and makes a lovely hedge left naturalized or can be shaped for a more formal look.
Provide evenly moist, well-drained soil with protection from harsh, drying winds. Water deeply, regularly during the first growing season to establish an extensive root system. Once established, reduce frequency; tolerates drought. Fertilize before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy, neat appearance, prune annually to shape.Pruning time: summer.
