Columnar Irish YewOne of the best conifers for adding maximum height with minimal width to the sunny or shady landscape, Upright or "Columnar" Irish Yew is a staple in many landscapes throughout Europe and the Americas alike. Dark green needles form a dense column, and coral red berries appear towards the latter half of the growing season for added interest. Irish Yew can also be formed into a hedge for a more manicured look in formal landscapes.
