Japanese Yew

The Japanese Yew is a timeless evergreen prized for its dense, dark green needles and graceful, columnar form. With its slow growth and naturally compact habit, this plant is ideal for hedges, foundation plantings, or as a striking architectural accent in both formal and informal landscapes. At maturity, it can grow up to 15 feet tall and 7 feet wide, providing lasting privacy and rich greenery throughout the year. Highly adaptable, it tolerates shade and a range of soil conditions, making it an excellent choice for North Texas landscapes.
