Why Plant Captain Upright Yew?
Captain Upright Yew is a time-tested classic, valued for its dignified presence and remarkable versatility. With its tall, columnar form, it adds structure and sophistication to landscapes both traditional and modern. A hardy and enduring evergreen, it offers lush green color through every season, while its tolerance for shade, pruning, and challenging conditions makes it a landscape problem-solver. Whether you need a living screen, a strong vertical accent, or a stately hedge, this Yew delivers reliability and beauty year after year.
How to use Captain Upright Yew in the landscape?
Use Captain Upright Yew to frame entrances, anchor corners, or create stately rows of evergreens along driveways or property lines. Its naturally narrow habit is perfect for hedges in tighter spaces where a bulky evergreen would overwhelm. Plant it as a tall screen for privacy or as an architectural accent in formal gardens. Its deep green foliage pairs beautifully with flowering shrubs and perennials, creating a backdrop that highlights seasonal color.How Does Shipping Work?

Please expect orders with multiple items to be delivered over a number of days as a result. Orders made up of numerous items or selections will not arrive at your home on the same day.
Shipping Delays:
From time to time, Bower & Branch Growers may determine to delay order shipment based on various factors for plant health. Weather in your region, as well as, where your plants are grown, is always considered when shipping. Extreme weather conditions may delay some or all of your order. Bower & Branch allows our Growers to make final shipping decisions based solely to benefit your trees and plants’ health and success.
How Does Sizing Work?
The size of our trees have nothing to do with the container size like you may find elsewhere–big doesn't mean just height - it’s also vigor, age, and overall health. Other online retailers are going to tell you that a plant is a seven gallon, that means nothing to your tree or plant (or you.)
Our trees for sale online are graded on large, x-large, and even bigger sizes. This is because our trees are sized by their age—the higher the letter, the more mature the tree. The age determines the trees’ overall height, size of the trunk and the overall branch density.
All of these characteristics are what you should be looking for when choosing a tree for immediate impact and instant curb appeal. Our extra-large tree and plant sizes are sure to wow you and your neighbors!
