A slow-growing, compact evergreen shrub with dark green needles and a dense, rounded growth habit. It provides year-round colour and texture, making it ideal for small garden spaces, rock gardens, foundation plantings, or low hedges.
This yew grows best in full sun to partial shade and prefers well-drained soil. It is hardy, low maintenance, and responds well to pruning to maintain shape or size. Female plants may produce small, red berries (arils), though the seeds inside are toxic if ingested.
