Taxus x media 'Hicksii', commonly known as Hicks Yew, is a versatile and highly popular evergreen shrub, prized for its narrow, upright growth habit and ease of care. This hybrid of English Yew and Japanese Yew is well-suited for creating dense, tall privacy hedges or maintaining as a lower, more formal hedge. With its beautiful, dark olive-green needles and bright red fruits in late summer and fall, Hicks Yew adds year-round beauty to any garden. Growing at a moderate rate of 6-8 inches per year, Hicks Yew can reach heights of up to 20 feet, making it perfect for tall, narrow hedges that save space in the landscape. It is equally easy to maintain at a lower height, around 3-4 feet, for more formal hedging. This variety responds exceptionally well to pruning, allowing you to shape it as desired while retaining its natural columnar form. Hicks Yew is highly adaptable, thriving in full sun to partial shade, and tolerates urban pollutants and salt, making it suitable for city and coastal gardens. It is cold-hardy, more so than English Yew, and performs well in USDA zones 5-8. This yew is also relatively deer-resistant, although very hungry deer may nibble on it occasionally. In addition to its visual appeal, Hicks Yew produces small, bright red fruits in late summer and fall, which contrast beautifully with its dark needles. While the seeds inside the fruits are toxic to mammals, they are enjoyed by birds. Hicks Yew thrives in well-draining soils and does not tolerate waterlogged conditions. Its long lifespan and low-maintenance nature make it an excellent choice for hedges, privacy screens, or as an accent plant in both formal and informal landscapes. With proper care, a Hicks Yew hedge can last for generations, bringing timeless beauty and structure to your garden.
