Additional Information

'Hillii' is a dense, upright oval form with bright green new growth. Withstands nearly any amount of pruning. Black vine weevil can be a problem, but this is rare. Newly planted yews do not perform well in poorly drained soils. Perhaps overused in the urban landscape. Can be severely damaged by deer. Dioecious.
