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.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
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 dedicated and professional. We are happy with the way they planted 14 trees for us. 11 green giants, 2 white pines and 1 Norway spruce.
Picked up my plants-ostrich ferns and blue ice amsonia without any problems! Wonderful, responsive owners! Will be buying from them in the future!
