If 'Hillii'
FamilyTaxaceae
Taxus × media ‘Hillii’ is an evergreen hybrid yew valued for its upright habit and great versatility in landscaping. This shrub develops a dense silhouette that is taller than it is wide, making it ideal for formal hedges, privacy screens, and structured plantings. Its glossy dark green foliage maintains a beautiful intensity all year round and tolerates pruning very well, allowing for precise shaping. Unlike other yews, this male selection does not produce red berries, which makes it cleaner for use as a hedge. Very hardy and adaptable, Taxus × media ‘Hillii’ prefers well-drained soil and tolerates both sun and partial shade. It is an excellent choice for elegantly structuring northern gardens for years to come.
