Southern Upright YewA terrific alternative to Japanese yew, a northern grown plant that doesn't enjoy our summer heat and humidity, 'Fastigata' is grown for its dense, evergreen foliage, upright growth habit and its versatility to thrive in either sun or shade. Plant alone as a specimen or frame the entrance to the shade garden with an Upright yew on each side of the walkway. NOTE: All Southern yew is DEER RESISTANT.
