David Golden Yew is a wonderful golden yew, with an upright form and glowing golden leaves with a broad yellow margin. This beautiful specimen evergreen will create a bright spot in your garden, looking especially beautiful in spring, but keeping its golden glow all through the year. Use it in the foundation planting around your home, or in beds as a strong vertical accent. Plant a pair in containers to frame an entrance or doorway. It can be clipped into absolute formality or left for a more casual vertical accent. This striking plant turns a background plant into a brilliant accent plant.
Grow the David Golden Yew in a sunny spot for the brightest yellow coloring, although it will grow well in shade, but with a little greener toning in the gold. It thrives in any well-drained soil, and does best with moisture, but it is drought-resistant in normal summer conditions. It almost never has pests or diseases, and it grows steadily, adding 4 to 6 inches a year, into a wonderful specimen for any garden.
