Taxus 'Densiformis' is a broadleaf evergreen conifer. A broad, flat-topped, spreading yew with very dense, deep green needles. Stays low and wide — excellent for foundation plantings and shaded borders where a spreading evergreen form is needed. Highly adaptable to full sun or dense shade in average, well-drained soil. One of the most shade-tolerant evergreen shrubs available. Avoid wet, poorly drained sites. The premier choice for formal hedges, topiary, dense screens, and foundation plantings where precise shaping and deep, year-round evergreen color are required.
