Notes
'Stove Pipe' Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata 'Stove Pipe') is a tree for specimen planting, hedges, privacy screens, and winter interest. It is hardy to USDA zone 6, or down to -10°F (-23°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average to moist, sandy or loamy soil. Its narrow conical form stays green all year. Birds also visit it. Rabbits rarely make it their first choice.
Pairs well with Paperbark maple, Oakleaf hydrangea, Christmas fern, and Daffodil.
