Add timeless structure and greenery to your landscape with 60 Japanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata ‘Capitata’) seeds, a durable evergreen conifer known for its elegant pyramidal form and deep green needle foliage. This classic ornamental species is widely used in gardens for hedges, foundation plantings, privacy screens, and bonsai cultivation.

Native to Japan, Korea, and parts of northeastern Asia, Japanese Yew is valued for its adaptability and longevity. The plant forms a dense, columnar tree or multi-stemmed shrub, making it ideal for both formal landscapes and natural garden settings. Mature female plants can produce bright red ornamental fruits (arils) that provide seasonal interest and attract birds.

This species is especially appreciated for its excellent shade tolerance, thriving in locations where many evergreens struggle. With slow, steady growth and strong tolerance to pruning, it can easily be shaped into hedges, topiary forms, or elegant specimen trees.
