Bring reliable, year-round structure to your landscape with Taxus cuspidata 'Densiformis' (Japanese Yew 'Densiformis'). This dense, spreading yew forms a low, mounded evergreen shrub with dark green, needle-like foliage that looks neat in every season. Its naturally broad habit makes it a strong choice for foundation plantings, edging, and low hedges where you want a tidy evergreen without constant fuss.

Expect mature size around 36-60 inches tall, with a wide spread. You can grow it in full sun to part shade, and it also tolerates shade, especially where summers are hot. Give it well-drained soil; consistent moisture helps it establish, and once rooted it handles periods of dryness better than many evergreens. Avoid sites that stay wet, since poor drainage can lead to root problems.

Pruning is optional, but this plant responds well if you want to shape it, maintain a clean outline, or keep it within bounds. For best results, shear or selectively prune in late winter to early spring, then let new growth fill in. Use it as a calm, dark-green backdrop for perennials and flowering shrubs, or mass it for a uniform, polished look along walks and in beds. Note: yews are poisonous if ingested, so place with care around pets and children.
