Evergreen, reliable and surprisingly versatile

Alongside the trade fair, we are putting Taxus in the spotlight this week. At first glance, Taxus may seem like a classic evergreen hedge plant. But look a little closer and there is much more variation. From low and spreading forms to compact shrubs, dense hedges and narrow upright plants, Taxus can be used in many different ways.

With 26 Taxus product lines in our current availability list, there is plenty to choose from.

Taxus baccata – from low and spreading to narrow and upright

The classic Taxus baccata remains one of the most versatile choices.

Its dense evergreen foliage and excellent tolerance of pruning make it suitable for hedges, topiary and specimen planting.

But not every Taxus baccata grows the same way.

‘Fastigiata Robusta’ and ‘Green Rocket’® bring a strong vertical accent with their narrow, upright growth.

‘David’ combines this upright habit with striking golden-yellow young shoots, while ‘Orange Alf’® stands out through its distinctive orange-yellow young growth. For a compact and densely branched shape, there is ‘Xanadu’®.

And at the other end of the spectrum, ‘Repandens’ grows low and spreading – a completely different character within the same species.

Taxus cuspidata – naturally compact

Sometimes a smaller, denser plant is exactly what is needed. That is where Taxus cuspidata comes in. 

• ‘Farmen’ is a robust, densely growing selection with a strong garden character. 
• ‘Nana’ stays lower and more compact, making it particularly useful for smaller spaces and low planting schemes.

Taxus media – plenty of possibilities

The Taxus media group offers perhaps the widest range of growth habits. ‘Densiformis’ grows broad, dense and spreading, making it suitable for lower hedges and mass planting. For stronger upright structure, there are varieties such as ‘Green Mountain’, ‘Groenland’, ‘Hicksii’ and ‘Hillii’. ‘Hicksii’ in particular is well known for its narrow, upright habit and is widely used for formal hedges.

More compact selections include ‘Kazio’ PBR and ‘Tymon’ PBR, both offering a neat and dense growth habit.

And for something different in colour, ‘Yellow Land’® combines an upright shape with distinctive bright yellow young foliage.

From groundcover to vertical structure

That is what makes Taxus so useful. One genus can provide low spreading plants, compact shrubs, dense hedges and strong vertical accents – all while keeping its evergreen character throughout the year. Discover our current Taxus assortment and find the growth habit that fits your next project.
