Taunton Yew (Taxus x media 'Tauntonii') is a versatile, shade-tolerant evergreen prized for its elegant, spreading form and glossy, deep green foliage. This compact yew grows slowly and maintains a neat, rounded shape with minimal pruning. It’s especially valued for its ability to handle winter burn better than many other yews, making it ideal for colder climates. Taunton Yew adapts well to a variety of soils and thrives in part to full shade, offering year-round greenery and refined texture in both formal and informal settings.
