If you are looking for a fast-growing, hardy tree with a compact, upright habit & dense, evergreen foliage, this Yew is a good choice. Taxus x media ' Hicksii' is a female variety & can be grown into an attractive hedge. However, it can also be left unpruned to become a spectacular, upright specimen. The plant looks particularly striking when it bears bright red berries, which stand out against its dark leaves. Like all Yews, it boasts versatility & adaptability, for it can be grown in sunlight or shade & will thrive in most soil types. This conifer is therefore an extremely practical choice for cottage & woodland gardens.
