Notes
'Fastigiata Aurea' English yew (Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata Aurea') is a tree for borders, hedges, specimen planting, and privacy screens. It is hardy to USDA zone 7, or down to 0°F (-18°C). This plant likes full sun to full shade and average to moist soil of most types. Its conical form stays upright and narrow, and the evergreen needles give you winter interest. Birds are drawn to it.
Pairs well with Globosa Colorado spruce, Sango-kaku Japanese maple, Foam flower, and Christmas fern.
