Description
If there ever was a plant that could put an exclamation point in the landscape it's the Beanpole Yew, a distinct and refined hybrid that forms a narrow column a mere 12 inches wide and 6 to 10 feet tall depending on pruning. Beanpole features very attractive, soft-textured foliage with slender, dark green needle-like leaves. Easy to grow and versatile, Beanpole is a fine textural accent plant for filling narrow spaces in sunny or fully shaded home foundation plantings and other landscape spaces. Also nice as a centerpiece in container gardens. In hot summer climates we suggest some shade during the afternoon hours.
Taxus x media is a hybrid designation for a number of crosses of English yew (Taxus baccata) and Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata). These hybrids are noted for combining the ornamental excellence of English yew with the winter hardiness of Japanese yew.
Landscape & Garden Uses
Growing slowly from 4 to 8 feet tall and around 12 inches wide (depending on pruning), the Maureen Columnar Yew is ideal for use as an accent in shady to partially shaded locations. Avoid direct midday sun. Also a nice centerpiece in pots, planters and other containers. A fine addition to Asian theme gardens and formal gardens.
Growing Preferences
Beanpole Yew is easy to grow in most any moist but well-drained soil of average fertility and full sun to part shade. In hot-summer climates we suggest shade during the hot afternoon hours. Taxus yews do not like a poorly drained, constantly soggy or wet soil. Responds very well to trimming but rarely needs it. It is best trimmed in early spring before new growth begins to emerge.
