The “Emerald” Spreading Yew is one of the loveliest yews you can buy. Rich green foliage stays low and creates a dense “Emerald” carpet of lush, evergreen color. Great in areas with little sunlight where other evergreen struggle.
Prefers sandy, slightly acidic, consistently moist, well-drained soils. Water deeply, regularly during first growing season to establish an extensive root system; reduce frequency once established. Apply fertilizer before new growth begins in spring. For a tidy appearance, prune annually to shape.Pruning time: summer.
