Densiformis Yew 1 Live Plant – 3 Gallon Pot – Taxus × media 'Densiformis'

Densiformis Yew (Taxus × media 'Densiformis'), also known as Dense Spreading Yew, is an evergreen shrub valued for its compact, bushy growth habit and rich green needle-like foliage. This hybrid yew provides year-round structure and texture in foundation plantings, low hedges, shrub borders, and formal landscapes.

Its densely arranged branches carry soft-looking, flattened, dark green needles that retain their color throughout the seasons. Densiformis Yew naturally develops a broad, spreading form and responds well to shaping, making it useful for structured plantings and evergreen borders. Small, inconspicuous reproductive structures may appear seasonally.

Densiformis Yew performs well in partial shade to full sun, although protection from intense afternoon sunlight can be beneficial in warmer climates. It prefers fertile, well-drained soil and moderate moisture. Established plants tolerate some shade, but poorly drained or persistently saturated soil should be avoided.

You will receive one live Densiformis Yew plant in a 3 gallon nursery pot.

Approx. 15 inches tall at time of shipping.

This is a nursery-grown evergreen shrub. Branching, foliage density, and overall appearance may vary depending on the season and growing conditions.

Plant Safety: All parts of yew plants are toxic if ingested, including the needles and seeds. Keep away from children, pets, and grazing animals. The fleshy red aril surrounding the seed is not considered a safe reason to consume any part of the plant.
