Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip

Captain Upright Yew is an excellent choice when you want to add height and structure without overwhelming your design. Use it in groupings to define outdoor rooms, or line a pathway for a dramatic formal effect. Because it responds well to pruning, you can maintain its narrow profile in smaller spaces or allow it to grow naturally taller for stronger vertical impact.
