Proven Winners® Stonehenge Skinny® Yew Shrub

Narrow Yew Fits Perfectly into Any Landscape

One of the most versatile and space-saving evergreens available, the Stonehenge Skinny® Yew is much narrower than other varieties, with a width of just 8 to 10 inches. This compact growth habit allows for close planting, even in tighter spaces.

Incredibly low-maintenance, the Stonehenge Skinny® Yew requires no pruning or shearing. This cold-hardy yew grows in a dense column of soft, dark green foliage and maintains its color all year long. 

The Stonehenge Skinny® Yew will thrive wherever it is planted, including shaded areas. It is an excellent choice for a specimen in gardens, when used to create natural privacy hedges, or when planted in decorative containers and used as an outdoor accent. Grow yours today!

Planting & Care

1. Planting: The Stonehenge Skinny® Yew will grow even in areas with deep shade, but take care to choose a location with well-draining soil. To plant, dig a hole that is twice the size of the shrub’s root ball. Place the shrub into the hole and gently spread out its roots, then backfill the soil. 

Spread a three-inch layer of mulch around the base of the shrub to keep the soil moist and slow weed growth.

2. Watering: Keep the soil around the yew moist but not overly wet for best growth, checking the soil about 2 inches down for dryness.

3. Fertilizing: Apply a water-soluble 10-10-10 plant fertilizer formula in the spring, once a month, to feed the yew.

4. Pruning: Pruning is not needed, although branches may be selectively removed if desired. Note that this yew is not deer-resistant and can sustain substantial damage in areas where deer pressure is high.
