Details
The native range of Taxus cuspidata is Japan, Korea and North East of China, where it grows to 50 feet tall. It has become extremely popular due to its ease of culture and shade tolerance. It responds well to shearing. The branches are spreading or ascending. Plants tolerate city conditions and extensive pruning. Twigs are light green in color, turning brown after several years. The attractive bark is always thin, about 1/4 inch, reddish-brown, and exfoliating, that enables you to see the inner bark, reddish-purple. In early Spring the Yews can be seen in flower, and in late Summer the fruits appear. It is in leaf all year, in flower from March to April, and the seeds ripen from September to November. The fine-textured needles are 1/2 to 1 inch long, dark green on top and tinged yellowish beneath, usually arranged in two rows along the twigs, making a flat or V-shaped spray. The flowers are dioecious, individual flowers are either male or female, but only one sex is to be found on any one plant and the red fruits are produced only by female plants. They are pollinated by Wind. The red berry-like cones are very conspicuous and may persist on the branches well into Winter. The fruit is produced mainly on the undersides of one-year old branches. The fruits, with their bright arils, the fleshy covering over the seeds, look at first like small acorns, but they ripen into bright red berries. It is the seeds inside the fruit that is poisonous. Hardiness zones 4-7, (5øF/-15øC, -25øF/ -32øC) in Winter. A very cold hardy plant when dormant. A very easy plant to grow, it is extremely tolerant of cold and heat, sunny and shady positions.
