Taxus x media 'Dark Green Spreader'
Choose Dark Green Spreader Yew when you want a low evergreen carpet for broad beds, banks, or foundation runs where flowers are not the point. The tradeoff: it needs room to spread and will not give upright screening.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | It gives a clean evergreen base, but it works more as background structure than as a focal plant. |
| Growth Rate | B | It fills in steadily without becoming a plant that needs constant correction. |
| Maintenance | A- | Once established, it asks for little beyond occasional shaping and attention to drainage. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C | Its spreading habit can crowd narrow beds unless you are willing to prune. |
| Screening Value | D | It covers ground well but does not provide meaningful privacy or vertical screening. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend this yew for broad evergreen coverage where the bed can stay simple. Give it air, avoid soggy soil, and protect it where deer feed heavily.

The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Progrowers was a great company to purchase from. Very fast delivery to my house. The tree seems to be in great condition and is so far doing really well!

Good size but tree seemed to be root bound. Tree budding late August.
