Yew shrubs, known botanically as Taxus, are a classic and versatile evergreen plant prized for their dense, dark green foliage and ease of care. These hardy shrubs are popular for adding year-round interest to landscapes, providing a reliable backdrop for other plants or serving as a focal point in the garden.

One of the most appealing features of yew shrubs is their dense, dark green foliage, which retains its color throughout the year. This makes yews an excellent choice for providing structure and texture to the garden, even in the depths of winter. Yew shrubs are also known for their ability to tolerate pruning and shaping, making them ideal for creating formal hedges or topiaries.

In addition to their attractive foliage, yew shrubs also produce small, inconspicuous flowers in the spring, followed by bright red berries in the fall. While the berries are toxic if ingested, they add a splash of color to the shrub and are a valuable food source for birds and wildlife.

Yew shrubs are adaptable plants that can thrive in a variety of growing conditions, including full sun to partial shade and well-drained soil. They are also relatively low-maintenance, requiring only occasional pruning to maintain their shape and size.

At Leaf and Pots Nursery, we offer a selection of yew shrubs, including popular varieties like the Hicks Yew and the Japanese Yew. With their dense, dark green foliage and year-round interest, yew shrubs are a beautiful and versatile addition to any garden or landscape.
