Taxus x media 'Hicksi'

Hicksi Yew

Hicks Yew (Taxus × media ‘Hicksii’) develops an upright evergreen outline with glossy, dark green needles. The upper portion gradually broadens, producing a column that is wider near the top than at its base.

Its strong vertical growth works well in screens and repeated plantings. Different forms circulate under this name, so the presence of red seed coverings can vary between plants.

Provide fertile soil with steady moisture and good drainage in sun or partial shade.
