Love this plant, if you have deer and shade you will too. Looks like an English yew but the deer leave it alone. I have used these in my landscape for at least 10 years. Oddly this particular variety is difficult to find at a nursery so I usually have to order by mail. This is a plant that prefers to be in the ground and can look pretty mangy in a pot. Do not worry, it will change from ugly duckling to a graceful swan. I have also tried out the upright variety of this species, sadly it is just a little too cold for it here in south central Indiana. I do not go by the current zone designation as 6, for this area, 5 is more accurate. Poor thing died back almost to the base, however it did not die and has made a valiant effort to regrow. For some reason this upright type is available more frequently in local nurseries. Since we have a lot of shade and those darn deer I really appreciate this species. Does not need nearly as much pruning as an English yew either.
