Yew

Yew, botanically known as Taxus, is a classic evergreen shrub or small tree prized for its dense, needle-like foliage and versatility in various landscape designs, be it informal or formal. As with all conifers, Yew’s evergreen nature provides year-round color and texture. This shrub is an excellent choice for hedges, foundation plantings, or as a standalone specimen plant. Yew shrubs are highly adaptable, thriving in both full sun and deep shade, as well as being able to tolerate a wide range of soil conditions, including poor drainage. With its slow-growing, compact habit, this evergreen shrub is often used for fashioned into topiary or formal garden designs, though it is also used in informal settings. Yew plants are also known for their longevity often living for decades with minimal care. Once established, Yew conifers are drought-tolerant; its dense foliage provides welcome shelter and an excellent food source for those birds that will stay the winter in your area (though they are toxic if ingested by humans). Its bright red berries and evergreen nature will provide interest in every season. It is also deer-resistant, just one more reason to add this low-maintenance shrub to your landscape.
