Notes
'Brownii' yew (Taxus × media 'Brownii') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 4, or down to -30°F (-34°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It keeps its evergreen needles all year, so it gives a hedge steady color in winter. It does not flower. It can reach 96 to 120 inches tall, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Cotoneaster, Ostrich fern, and Black Parrot tulip.
