Minaret Anglo-Japanese yew
Family:
Taxaceae (yew family)
Distribution:
hybrid: selection of Taxus baccata × T. cuspidata
Hardiness:
USDA Zone 5

Evergreen shrub
Comments:
Slow-growing with stiff, slender vertical branches and small dark green needles. Ed Mezitt selected this seedling in the late 1970s as a diminutive form of the "vertical" yew, ideally suited for smaller gardens. It grows about half the rate of a normal vertical yew and requires little care.
