Hicks Yew (Taxus × media 'Hicksii') is a dense, upright evergreen ideal for privacy hedges, property lines, screening and formal landscapes.

Planting & Spacing
For a dense privacy hedge, Hicks Yew is commonly planted about 2 ft apart, depending on plant size and how quickly you want the hedge to fill in. Its shade tolerance makes it useful along property lines and in areas where many other privacy evergreens struggle.
Hicks Yew vs Hill’s Yew
Hicks Yew and Hill’s Yew are both upright evergreen choices for privacy screening. Hicks Yew is known for its red berries, while Hill’s Yew is often preferred when you want a clean, all-green hedge without berries.
