Taxus x media 'Hicksii'
Choose Hick's Yew for a narrow, formal evergreen hedge in shade or mixed light. The main tradeoff: it needs pruning to stay crisp, and it is not a good pick where deer feed heavily.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B+ | It gives strong evergreen structure, but the look is formal rather than relaxed. |
| Growth Rate | B | It grows steadily enough for hedging without getting out of hand too quickly. |
| Maintenance | B- | It takes pruning well, but it looks best when trimmed on a regular schedule. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | B | Its upright habit works in tighter beds, but it still needs room and pruning. |
| Screening Value | A- | Dense evergreen foliage makes it very useful for a clean privacy row. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Hick's Yew when a customer wants a formal evergreen screen in shade and is willing to prune. For deer-heavy sites, we'd steer the conversation to another evergreen.

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!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
