The Maki Japanese Yew is a stately evergreen that elevates both traditional and modern landscapes. Its dense, dark-green foliage and naturally columnar growth create a look of understated sophistication, ideal for entryways, courtyard borders, or privacy hedging with a sculpted aesthetic. At maturity it reaches 10 to 12 feet in height and 3 to 4 feet in width, maintaining its graceful, upright shape with minimal pruning. Hardy, slow-growing, and beautifully textured, it thrives in full to partial sun and adapts seamlessly to both formal designs and serene garden spaces.
