Taxaceae
Taxus cuspidata ‘Kobes Hicksii’, commonly known as Japanese yew ‘Kobes Hicksii’, is an evergreen conifer with a narrow, dense columnar habit, prized for its elegant vertical silhouette and high tolerance to pruning. Its lustrous dark green foliage, composed of soft, flattened needles, maintains a beautiful intensity throughout the year. Ideal for formal hedges, privacy screens, or aligned plantings, it offers a refined structure even in confined spaces. On female plants, decorative bright red arils appear at the end of the season, contrasting with the dark foliage. Taxus cuspidata ‘Kobes Hicksii’ tolerates both sun and shade well and adapts to various well-drained soils. Very hardy and durable, it is a safe bet for structuring landscapes in cold climates.
