This is not a personal statement although at first we wondered :-). Instead yew - dense is a versatile evergreen shrub which has been around a very long time! It is low growing, wide spreading habit, generous with its dark green needles. Reaching 3-4 ft tall at the most, it is easy to shape. Can tolerate sun or shade but doesn't like too much water. It is soft to the touch so if you decide to prune it you won't be "stuck".
