Anglo-Japanese Yew 'Densiformis', Densiformis Yew
Taxus × media ‘Densiformis’ (Anglo-Japanese Yew) is a semi-dwarf, evergreen shrub of rounded habit when young and spreading with age. Its dense undulating branches are clothed in glossy bright green needles, held in 2 ranks. This female cultivar produces a profusion of conspicuous, coral-red seed-bearing cones. Slow-growing, 3-5 in. per year (7-12 cm), this Yew is very versatile and can be used for foundation plantings or as a specimen plant. It can be pruned regularly to create a low hedge.
