Silver Spire Dwarf English Yew - Taxus baccata 'Silver Spire'

A new miniature garden plant with fantastic shape and foliage color that changes throughout the seasons. The new growth in spring had yellow margins (stripes on the leaves,) that last almost all summer.

As the temperatures get colder, the colors turn to silver. It will return to the regular color when the weather warms up in the spring. 

The growth shape is narrow and upright, a great anchor tree for the miniature garden. Yew can be pruned to slow down the growth shape even more.

Plant in cool sun to part shade. Cool sun means eastern sun, or dappled sun.
