This is a spreading cultivar that can reach a height of 6’, but a width of 20’. Female plants produce red, fleshy, single-seeded fruit instead of cones (these are poisonous). This is a cross between Japanese yews (T. cuspidata) and English yews (T. baccata).It prefers average, medium moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade, but can tolerate a wide range of soils as long as drainage is good. It can also tolerate full shade and considerable pruning.
