Taxus x. media 'Hatfieldii'

Choose Hatfield Yew for a formal, upright evergreen hedge that handles pruning and part shade; the tradeoff is patience, because it is not the plant for fast privacy or tight walkway corners.

Buy This If

  • You want upright evergreen structure.
  • You can prune as needed.
  • You are patient about growth.

Skip This If

  • You need quick coverage.
  • You hate formal pruning.
  • The space is very narrow.

PGNE Report Card

Category Grade Why
Landscape Impact B It gives a formal evergreen backbone, but the look is quiet rather than showy.
Growth Rate C It grows slowly, which helps with control but delays screening.
Maintenance B It takes pruning well, but hedges still need routine clipping to stay crisp.
Deer Resistance D Yews are commonly browsed in deer-heavy areas, so protect it or plan a different hedge.
Small Space Fit C+ The upright habit helps, but it still needs enough width and access for pruning.
Screening Value B Dense evergreen foliage makes a solid screen once established, but it is not quick coverage.

Our Experience

At PGNE, we'd typically use Hatfield where steady structure matters more than fast privacy, and we'd avoid cramming it against walks because yews tolerate pruning but still need room.

Customers Usually Ask

Can I keep it smaller?

Yes, with regular pruning, but do not start with too little space.

Is it good for shade?

It is one of the better evergreen options for part-shade structure.

Will deer eat it?

In heavy deer areas, yews often need protection.
