Taxus brevifolia aka Pacific Yew

Pacific Yew requires a bit more attention and knowledge to thrive, making it a suitable plant for those with some gardening experience.

Pacific Yew should be watered regularly, allowing the soil to dry out between waterings.

Pacific Yew loves a well-draining soil. Perlite and vermiculite help with drainage, while coco coir adds organic matter, so a good potting soil mix will have all three. You can improve store-bought soil by adding some perlite to it.

To ensure optimal growth, the Pacific Yew prefers bright diffused light for 6-8 hours each day. Insufficient light can result in slow growth and leaf drop, so it's important to find a well-lit location for this plant. Place it near a window, within a distance of 1 meter (3 feet), to enhance its potential for thriving.

Pacific Yew is poisonous if ingested. We suggest keeping this plant out of reach if you have children, cats, or dogs in the home.

The growth of Pacific Yew is not rapid and it doesn't necessitate any extra fertilization. By replacing its potting soil once a year, it should receive ample nutrition. It is important to note that plants obtain their energy from the sun's rays, not from fertilizers.

New growth will sprout from the top of the plant as it grows upwards.

Pacific Yew’s native range is Western N. America - Alaska to California.
