  • Description

  • Notes

Repandens Yew is a wide spreading evergreen with dark green needles and branches with graceful, pendulous tips. Can grow 2 to 4 feet tall, though also as high as 6 feet, and eventually 10 to 15 feet across. English Yews grow well in part to full shade, and Repandens is valuable as an understory shrub for taller shrubs and trees. Bright red fruit in winter; branches are lovely in floral arrangements. New spring growth is a beautiful bright green.
