Taunton Yew is a compact, upright evergreen shrub prized for its dense, columnar form and rich dark green foliage. This cultivar of Taxus x media reaches 15–20 feet tall and 3–4 feet wide, making it ideal for formal hedges, screens, and foundation plantings. Hardy in zones 4–7, Taunton Yew thrives in partial shade to full sun and adapts well to most soil types. It tolerates pruning exceptionally well, allowing you to maintain a crisp, architectural silhouette year-round. The plant produces small red arils in fall, adding subtle seasonal interest. Perfect for creating living walls, defining garden boundaries, or anchoring mixed borders. Low-maintenance once established, with moderate water needs and excellent disease resistance.
