Taxus × media 'New Selection'
The Taxus × media ‘Sunburst’, commonly known as the ‘Sunburst’ hybrid yew, is an evergreen conifer with a spreading and dense habit, remarkable for the bright coloration of its new shoots. In spring, young needles emerge bright golden yellow before gradually turning chartreuse green then dark green as they mature, creating a dynamic contrast throughout the season. Its broad and slightly irregular silhouette makes it an excellent choice for beds, foundation plantings, or colorful low hedges. Tolerant of pruning, it can be shaped as needed. Taxus × media ‘Sunburst’ prefers well-drained soil and adapts to full sun or partial shade. Very hardy, it provides structure, longevity, and vibrancy in cold climate landscapes.
