Notes
'Gwen' yew (Taxus × media 'Gwen') 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 stays evergreen all year and does not flower. It grows 36 to 48 inches tall and 48 to 60 inches wide, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Snowberry, Bowl of Beauty peony, and Queen of Night tulip.
