Hicks Yew
The Hicks Yew, scientifically known as Taxus x media 'Hicks', is a widely cultivated and beloved evergreen shrub. A hybrid between the English yew (Taxus baccata) and the Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata), 'Hicks' boasts an upright, dense form with dark green needles that create a lush, vibrant appearance all year round. Its ability to withstand shearing and shaping makes it an excellent choice for hedges, screens, or foundation plantings. 'Hicks' Yew is adaptable to various soil types, though it prefers well-draining soil and partial to full shade. This cultivar is relatively low-maintenance, requiring minimal pruning to maintain its desired shape. With its resilience and versatility, the Hicks Yew is a favored option for adding structure and greenery to gardens and landscapes.
