Japanese Yew
The Japanese Yew is a striking evergreen tree with a narrowly upright and columnar growth habit, perfect for use as a screen or accent planting. Its fine texture and glossy, narrow leaves, which emerge light green and mature to dark green, offer ornamental appeal year-round. This low-maintenance tree thrives in full sun to partial shade and prefers average to evenly moist soil, though it tolerates urban pollution. It grows slowly, reaching a mature height of 30 feet with a 15-foot spread, and its low canopy makes it suitable for planting under power lines.
