Hicks Yew: For All-Season Privacy

This easy-to-care-for evergreen transforms your yard into a private oasis, reaching a mature height of 10-12 feet and flourishing in zones 4-8. Unlike fickle flowers, its vibrant green needles stay strong year-round, creating a natural privacy wall that keeps your quiet space yours.

  • Dense, green needles block the world and create a secluded haven
  • Mature height of 10-12 feet offers substantial privacy screening
  • Deer resistant - keeps unwanted herbivores out of your garden
  • Grows well in hardiness zones 4-7 - thrives in a wide range of climates

Hicks Yew’s enduring beauty lies in its captivating evergreen foliage. Unlike flat, broad leaves, these needles are soft and surprisingly pliable to the touch. As sunlight hits the the dense canopy, the sheen of these needles ignites with a subtle luster, adding a touch of dynamism to your garden.

Throughout the seasons, the color remains consistent. They maintain their verdant intensity, offering a reliable pop of color even in the heart of winter when most other plants have surrendered to dormancy.

While Hicks Yew offers stunning evergreen foliage, it also produces a fascinating, albeit discreet, berries in the fall. These berries, typically no larger than a pea, start out a delicate shade of light green, clinging tightly to the branches. As the season progresses, they slowly transform, their color deepening into a blushed rose or a rich, jewel-toned crimson.

It’s important to remember that these berries, despite their tempting appearance, are toxic to humans and pets. However, for birds, they provide a welcome source of winter sustenance, adding a touch of life and movement to the otherwise evergreen landscape.

How to Plant Hicks Yew

Choose the Right Spot

Select a location with full sun to part shade. Hicks Yews tolerate some shade, but full sun encourages denser growth. Ensure the planting area has well-drained soil, as they don’t tolerate soggy conditions.

Measure the Space

At maturity, a Hicks Yew reaches 10-12 feet tall and 4-6 feet wide. When planting multiple Hicks Yews for a hedge, space them 6 feet apart to allow for proper air circulation and a full, dense privacy screen.

Dig the Hole

For container-grown Hicks Yews, dig a hole 2-3 times wider than the root ball and slightly deeper. Loosen the soil around the edges to encourage root expansion.

Plant It

Carefully remove your Hicks Yew from its container and gently loosen any circling roots. Place the plant in the hole, ensuring the root crown sits level with the surrounding soil. Backfill the hole with soil, tamping gently to eliminate air pockets and secure the plant.

Water Thoroughly

Water your newly planted Hicks Yew deeply, soaking the soil around the base until water runs freely from the drainage holes. This ensures the root ball is thoroughly saturated and encourages healthy root development.

Mulch and Care

Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around the base of the plant, keeping it a few inches away from the stem to prevent rot. Replenish the mulch layer as needed. Established Hicks Yews are drought tolerant but benefit from deep watering during extended dry periods. Water when the top few inches of soil feel dry to the touch.

Why Choose Hicks Yew?

Hicks Yew is easy to care for and thrives with minimal attention, so you can spend less time on yard work and more time enjoying your own personal retreat. Plus, its timeless beauty adds value to your property, making it a smart choice for the discerning homeowner. Don’t wait any longer to create your own private oasis. Add one to your cart today, your Hicks Yew – tranquility awaits.
