Taxus cuspidata 'Bright Gold' 22W50 Yew E1-
Taxus cuspidata 'Bright Gold' 22W50 Yew E1- (Winter = green) Japanese Yew, Size at 10 years: 3x3ft., yellow with green striation, USDA Hardiness Zone 6, Michigan Bloom Month -, In Garden Bed E1 for 8.3 YEARS (MSU). Planted in 2014.
Missouri Botanical Garden: 'Bright Gold' is a shrubby, upright-spreading, dwarf form that grows in a mound to 3' tall and as wide over the first 10 years, eventually maturing over time to 4-6' tall and to 5-7' wide. Each needle is golden yellow in spring with a green striation. Needles generally show good yellow color when grown in full sun, but are yellow-green when grown in shade. Even in full sun locations, the needles tend to turn green as the summer progresses. Red drupes on female plants ripen in fall.
From MSU Hidden Lake Gardens. Deer are attracted to this plant. Planted 2014. Looks all green in the winter. Getting much more sun after I trimmed the snowball shrub in 2020.
