Notes
'Wellesleyana' yew (Taxus × media 'Wellesleyana') is a shrub for hedges. It is hardy to USDA zone 5, or down to -20°F (-29°C). This plant likes full or part sun and average moisture. It stays evergreen all year and does not flower. It grows 72 to 180 inches tall and 60 to 120 inches wide, so give it room to spread.
Pairs well with Karl Foerster feather reed grass, Peony, and Purple Pillar rose of sharon.
