Taxus cuspidata ‘Nova’, commonly known as Japanese yew ‘Nova’, is an evergreen conifer with an upright and compact habit, prized for its exceptional density and high tolerance to pruning. Its glossy dark green foliage, composed of soft needles arranged in two rows, retains a beautiful color all year round with no significant browning in winter. With moderate growth, it forms a dense mass ideal for formal hedges, structured screens, or foundation plantings. Highly adaptable, Taxus cuspidata ‘Nova’ tolerates full sun as well as shade, and various types of well-drained soils. It withstands severe pruning and shaping very well, making it an excellent choice for classic and contemporary gardens seeking structure and longevity in cold climates.
