General Culture:
Easily grown in average, medium wet, well-drained soils of near neutral pH in full sun to part shade. Tolerates a wide range of soils as long as drainage is good. Also tolerant of full shade and considerable pruning. Intolerant of temperature extremes. Prune or shear as desired in early spring before new growth appears.
Noteworthy Characteristics:
This hybrid yew cultivar is a dense, narrowly columnar, evergreen shrub with ascending branching. Typically matures to a height of 18-20' with a spread of 6-10' wide after 20 years. More often seen as a 9-12' tall plant, however. Yews are classified as conifers, but female plants (yews are dioecious) produce red, fleshy, single-seeded fruit instead of cones. 'Hicksii' is available in both male and female types. Two-ranked foliage is lustrous, dark green above and lighter green below. The popular Taxus x media hybrid cultivars are crosses between Japanese yews (Taxus cuspidata) and English yews (Taxus baccata). All parts of this plant are poisonous if ingested.
Problems:
Long-lived and generally considered a low-maintenance shrub with no serious insect or disease problems. Plants may wilt and die if grown in heavy, poorly drained soils. Foliage may brown in winter (winter burn) from exposure to dry winter winds. Twig dieback may occur in winter or at other times in the year as a result of damage caused by sudden and extreme winter temperature changes.
Uses:
Specimen, screen, hedge or foundation plant.
