Discover the captivating beauty and unique characteristics of Taxus wallichiana var. chinensis, also known as the Himalayan Yew, a prized ornamental evergreen from the Taxaceae family. Indigenous to the picturesque landscapes of China, this majestic yew thrives at elevations up to 900 meters (3,000 feet), showcasing resilience and adaptability. Mature specimens can reach impressive heights of up to 14 meters (46 feet) with a similarly expansive spread, forming a lush, bushy profile that enhances any landscape design. The leaves of the Himalayan Yew are distinctive, measuring up to 4 centimeters (1½ inches) in length—broader than those of most other yews—and feature a very small, sharp tip. A signature trait is the underside, adorned with two broad yellow stripes and densely packed with minute projections. Revered for its aesthetic appeal and versatile growth, the Himalayan Yew presents an opportunity to incorporate a piece of timeless elegance and natural wonder into your garden or landscape project.
