Maureen Columnar Yew (Taxus Hybrid) – 5 Gallon Pot

Extremely rare, the ‘Maureen’ Columnar Yew is a distinct and refined columnar evergreen shrub destined to be an outstanding exclamation point on any landscape. Maureen features very attractive, soft-textured foliage with slender, dusty blue-green new leaves that age to a darker shade. Adding maybe 6 inches inches in height per year, all grown up she might reach around 8 feet in height with a small footprint of maybe 12 to 15 inches. One of the most shade tolerant of all evergreens. 

Taxus x media is a hybrid designation for a number of crosses of English yew (Taxus baccata) and Japanese yew (Taxus cuspidata). These hybrids are noted for combining the ornamental excellence of English yew with the winter hardiness of Japanese yew. Maureen was found and introduced by Joe Reis and named for his wife, Maureen.
