English Yew 'Standishii', Common Yew 'Standishii'
Highly popular, Taxus baccata ‘Standishii’ (English Yew) is a dense, narrowly columnar, evergreen shrub forming a splendid exclamation point in the landscape. Its tightly packed, erect branches are clothed in rich golden-yellow leaves, which hold their brilliant color throughout the year. This female cultivar produces conspicuous, coral-red seed-bearing cones that contrast beautifully with the foliage. Slow-growing, 1 in. per year (2.5 cm), this English Yew is ideal for providing year-round structure. It makes a wonderful specimen plant and adds a lovely vertical line in the garden. Perfect for small gardens, foundations or rock gardens.
