Irish Yew ‘Stricta’ or ‘Fastigata’

Taxus baccata 'Stricta' or 'Fastigata'

I decided the far corner of our deck needed a ‘punctuation mark’, so I purchased a cedar planter and chose this skinny yew. It works perfectly for this shady spot.

    About Me

    Hi! I'm Lorie and I wrangle plants in a muddy, feral shade garden in the Pacific Northwest. I built this site to serve as a gardening journal and quasi-accurate record of planting successes and failures. My goal is to help "future me" be a better gardener. I hope what I've learned along the way can be useful to you too. Thanks for visiting!
