If 'Maureen'

If ‘Maureen’ (Taxus × media ‘Maureen’). Taxus × media ‘Maureen’ is a highly prized hybrid yew variety known for its dense form and persistent dark green color. This cultivar is distinguished by its compact and rounded habit, ideal for adding structure to any garden while providing a rich and elegant texture. What makes ‘Maureen’ particularly interesting is its ability to easily adapt to various soil types, even slightly alkaline ones, and its resistance to difficult conditions, such as urban pollution and partial shade.

To plant yew ‘Maureen’, choose an appropriate exposure: sun to partial shade. The recommended soil is well-drained, slightly acidic to neutral. Respect the conifer's natural silhouette and avoid deep pruning into parts without foliage. Monitor moisture after planting, including in the autumn when the weather is dry. Aeration and drainage are as important as watering frequency. Water the root ball before planting it in the ground and ensure that water can drain after planting. During establishment, check the moisture by hand before watering again.

Allow for a width of 1.5 to 2 m (5 to 6.5 ft) when planning its place in the garden. The indicated height of 1.5 to 2 m (5 to 6.5 ft) helps choose its position relative to neighboring plants. Maintain access to the base for weeding, checking moisture, and removing damaged parts. Combine this variety with plants whose light and water needs are compatible. If you are considering a container, first check that its volume and drainage are suitable for root development.
