The Japanese Yew, Taxus cuspidata, is native to Japan and looks at home in landscapes in our area. This versatile evergreen has attractive, dark green, needle-like foliage on dense branches. In the winter, bright red flesh fruit can appear and create a beautiful contrast with the foliage.
We like to use this versatile evergreen in a foundation planting. They are the perfect companion to colorful plants and vines, too. Its dense branching and shape make it an excellent plant for a variety of landscape uses. They are useful as a hedge and growing as a specimen. Mass planting them can add a splash of greenery to any yard! This ornamental can be a shade tree and grows well in urban conditions.
We like to plant Japanese Yew in a location that gets plenty of full sun exposure. They will require low to moderate water once established. These are easy-care plants that offer year-round interest. Feed them with a general-purpose fertilizer before the new growth begins in spring. Visit your nearest Moon Valley Nurseries location to purchase a fertilizer that is specially created for where you live. Keep this Taxus cuspidata looking neat by shearing it to shape once a year.
