This classic evergreen tree or large shrub is widely planted for hedges, privacy screens, foundation plantings, and ornamental garden structure.

Native to Japan, Korea, China, and parts of Russia, Japanese Yew develops dark green needle-like foliage arranged in flat sprays that remain attractive year-round.
