Taxus cuspidata 'Adams'
Adam's Japanese Yew
Adams Japanese yew is an upright evergreen with bright green needles and a conical to columnar outline. Foliage stays dense near the base, making it useful for a hedge or privacy screen. Red fleshy arils surround the seeds.
Give it sun or partial shade and excellent drainage. It is relatively fast growing for a yew and tolerates urban conditions.
