Taxus/Yew

Spreading English Yew
Taxus baccata 'Repandens'
	Height: 2' Spread: 6' Zone: 6
	Low growing, forms a mound as plant matures. When untrimmed will become a graceful weeping yew well suited as a foundation plant under low windows. Bright red berries appear in fall. All yews have linear shaped leaves, or "needles". Repandens have two-ranked, dark green needles. Best suited to more temperate climates.
