A versatile evergreen tolerating heavy pruning, making it ideal for hedges, screens, foundation plantings and topiary landscapes. It can also be left unpruned for a softer textured landscape. A very columnar-growing cultivar, growing slower than 'Hicksii', making it a good vertical accent. Protection (burlap wrap) from drying winter winds is recommended in exposed locations.
All parts of the plant are poisonous to human beings, dogs, cats, and horses. Unfortunately, the poison does not seem to affect deer.
Mature taxus specimens have the ability to regrow from old wood; older specimens in the garden can be rejuvenated.
