Spreading Yew

Botanical Name: Taxus baccata 'Repandens'

Low-growing evergreen shrub with dark green needles and long, spreading branches that droop at the tips. Unlike the English yew (which eventually becomes treelike), this variety stays low to the ground, growing only 2 to 3 feet high but extending to several feet wide.
