About this plant

‘Hicksii’ hybrid yew has dark green needles and a naturally narrow, upright shape.

Its growth becomes fuller and denser with age. It responds well to clipping, making it easy to maintain a neat outline.

Best used for

Use in a formal hedge or as a narrow screen where steady, manageable growth is preferred.

Give the plant enough space and light to show its natural form.

Growth & mature size

Growth per year 15–30 cm per year Slow growth
Expected mature size 3–5 m high / 1.5–2.5 m wide

Expect around 15–30 cm of new growth per year after establishment in good conditions. At maturity it typically reaches 3–5 m in height and 1.5–2.5 m in width. Allow room for a narrow upright shrub that thickens with age; soil, water, exposure and pruning all influence its final outline.

How to care

Plant in well-drained soil and avoid waterlogged ground. Water deeply through the first growing seasons and during prolonged dry spells later on. Apply mature compost or a slow-release evergreen fertiliser once in spring if soil is poor. Clip in late summer if a formal outline is wanted; established yew tolerates careful renovation.
