Taxus media 'Hicksii'
The long, upright-growing branches with dense, glossy, dark green foliage naturally form a narrow, columnar habit that works well as a foundation plant, or placed in pairs at entries or doorways. Excellent choice to add height to landscaped gardens.
Can tolerate both sunny and shady conditions.
Companion Plants: Lilac (Syringa); Weigela (Weigela); Spirea (Spiraea); & Periwinkle (Vinca)
