A very popular choice, Taxus baccata 'Repandens' (English Yew) is a small, prostrate and wide-spreading, evergreen shrub with undulating branches adorned with pendulous tips. It is densely clothed in long, glossy, dark green leaves held in two ranks. This female cultivar rarely produces the conspicuous, coral-red seed-bearing cones. A moderate grower, 6-8 in. per year (15-20 cm), this spreading English Yew is ideal as a medium-sized groundcover, especially in woodland conditions.
