Standishii English Yew 1 Live Plant – 1 Quart Pot – Taxus baccata 'Standishii'

Standishii English Yew (Taxus baccata 'Standishii') is a slow-growing evergreen conifer valued for its distinctive golden-yellow foliage, naturally narrow growth habit, and year-round ornamental appeal. This cultivar of English Yew develops an upright, columnar form that makes it suitable for formal landscapes, foundation plantings, mixed evergreen borders, and architectural garden accents.

The foliage consists of short, flat needles that display golden-yellow to yellow-green coloration, particularly on newer growth exposed to adequate sunlight. Interior and shaded foliage may appear deeper green, creating attractive tonal contrast throughout the plant. Its dense branching and upright structure provide a refined appearance in traditional, formal, and contemporary landscape designs.

Standishii English Yew generally performs best in full sun to partial shade and fertile, well-drained soil. It prefers moderate moisture and does not tolerate prolonged waterlogging. Its slow growth and naturally compact, upright habit also make it suitable for outdoor containers and small ornamental garden spaces.
