Noteworthy Characteristics
'Fastigiata' is an upright Plum Yew with a broadly upright, vase-shape habit of growth to perhaps 5-6 feet tall in 10 years with a mature height of 10 feet or more and 6 feet or so in width. That being said, plum yews will withstand severe pruning so the plant can be kept to a smaller size even over time. The handsome, dark green, delicate, need-like foliage of Fastiagata provides a unique texture in the garden year round and contrasts nicely with the foliage textures and colors of many other types of plants. It has an upright, broad columnar form that grows taller than it does wide.
Uses
Use Fastiagata as a mid-size formal hedge, as a uniquely textured accent, on either side of en entryway, or in containers.
Culture & Care Tips
Easy to grow and maintain, Fastigiata likes a well-drained soil, even bone dry soil is okay when the plants are established. It prefers part sun to shade. Morning sun to shade is perfect. The best time to prune or shear is in early spring before the first flush of new growth.
