Additional Information

'Hatfieldii' is a broad pyramidal cultivar with dense, deep green foliage. Dioecious, although males are most common with this form. 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.
