Plant of the Month
June

The plants of the month for June are Yews.  We carry several varieties; Dense, Tautoni, and Hicks.  Dense yews are a landscape staple, this popular dense shrubby form grows twice as wide as tall (to 4' tall and 8' wide). The plant accepts shearing very well. Its needles are bright green, bronzing slightly in winter.  Tautoni is a very useful and adaptable plant, this selection forms a spreading-rounded shrub to 4' tall and 6' wide. The foliage resists damage during the winter.  The Hicks yew cultivar is an upright-columnar form. The glossy dark needles are borne on a plant that grows to 20' tall and 12' wide with great age.  The red fruit adds a splash of color.
