Strong vertical structure, year-round greenery, and enduring elegance FEATURES: Narrow, upright form makes it ideal for hedges, screens, or vertical accents Dense, dark-green evergreen foliage provides all-season interest Tolerates pruning well, allowing for shaping into hedges or topiary forms Extremely long-lived and adaptable to a variety of soils and conditions Shade tolerant — thrives in part shade to full sun Excellent cold hardiness, withstanding harsh northern winters Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip Captain Upright Yew is an excellent choice when you want to add height and structure without overwhelming your design. Use it in groupings to define outdoor rooms, or line a pathway for a dramatic formal effect. Because it responds well to pruning, you can maintain its narrow profile in smaller spaces or allow it to grow naturally taller for stronger vertical impact.
