Taxus cuspidata 'Emerald Spreader'
Taxus cuspidata ‘Emerald Spreader’, commonly known as Japanese Yew ‘Emerald Spreader’, is an evergreen conifer with a spreading and dense habit, valued as a structural groundcover or in low mass plantings. Its glossy, emerald green foliage, composed of soft, flattened needles, retains its beautiful intensity all year round with no significant browning in winter. Its horizontal growth forms a compact carpet ideal for stabilizing a slope, filling the base of taller shrubs, or creating a uniform mass effect. It tolerates pruning well and can be lightly shaped as needed. Taxus cuspidata ‘Emerald Spreader’ adapts to full sun as well as shade and prefers well-drained soil. Very hardy and durable, it is an elegant and reliable solution for landscaping requiring persistent groundcover in cold climates.
