Description
Yew Hicks is a stunning, upright evergreen shrub known for its refined, columnar shape and fresh, deep green foliage. With its dense, vertical habit, it provides a beautiful textural statement and is one of the finest selections for creating tidy hedges, privacy screens, or elegant foundation plantings. Its polished needles stay vibrant year-round, bringing structure and visual interest even through winter. Small, red, berry-like fruits may appear on female plants in late season, adding a subtle splash of color. Adaptable and easy to maintain, this yew delivers year-round appeal with a satisfying balance of form and function in the landscape.

General Care

  • Sunlight: Prefers full sun to part shade
  • Watering: Water regularly after planting to establish strong roots; once established, requires minimal supplemental watering except during extended dry periods
  • Mulching: Apply a 2–3 inch layer of mulch to conserve moisture and regulate soil temperature
  • Pruning: Prune in early spring before new growth emerges to maintain a tidy form or shape into hedges

With its vertical elegance, evergreen color, and versatility, Yew Hicks is a polished and dependable choice for bringing structure and year-round beauty to both formal and natural landscape designs.
