Hicksii is a cross of the English Yew and the Japanese Yew. Hicksii has the most columnal growth habit of any yew. At 20-years old it can reach 20 feet tall by 6 to 8 feet wide. Generally sheared to maintain a tall privacy hedge at 8 to 12 feet tall. Tolerate heavy shade and drought. Doesn't do well in wet, soggy areas. All of our yews are field grown in western Michigan's sandy loam soils, so it has a very well-developed fibrous root system. Never spent a day of it's life in a pot. So, it has never had to suffer from a pot-bound root system and there is less transplant shock and quicker adaptation when planted into a new soil type.
