Taxus × media ‘Wardii’

Taxus × media 'Wardii' is a broadly spreading, strongly growing, female selection of foundation yew with irregular branching, and fine, very dense, dark-green needles. It is known to produce copious crops of berries from a young age. After 10 years of growth, a mature specimen will measure 4.5 feet (1.5 m) tall and 6 feet (2 m) wide, a yearly growth rate of 4 to 6 inches (10 - 15 cm). Individual specimens can be easily controlled through periodic shearing.

This cultivar originated as a seedling selected around 1950 by R.T. Brown of New York, USA.
