Frequently Asked Questions
Yews do not have showy blooms. They produce small, inconspicuous flowers, and female plants may develop red berry-like arils. This plant is grown for its dense evergreen foliage and spreading form.
Only female yews can produce the red arils, and fruiting depends on having a male yew nearby for pollination. Many landscapes grow yews primarily for foliage and form, whether berries appear or not.
Prune lightly in late winter or after the first flush of spring growth to shape and maintain density. Yews respond well to pruning, but avoid heavy cutting during heat or drought stress.
