Hicksi is a cross of the English Yew and the Japanese Yew. Noted for combining the ornamental excellence of English Yews with the winter hardiness of Japanese Yews. Hicksi has the most columnal growth habit of any yew. At 20 years old it can reach 20' tall by 6-10' wide. Generally sheared to maintain a tall privacy hedge at 8-12' tall. No serious insect or disease problems, so no sprays required. Most widely used as a "can't see through it" privacy hedge. Tolerate heavy shade and drought. Doesn't do well in wet, soggy areas. Cold hardy Zones 4-7.
Important Shipping Notes:
Breck's times its shipments from Holland so that bulbs and bareroots arrive at the proper planting time (depending on climatic conditions) for each area of North America. To promote optimum stress protection in transit and your success in the garden, bareroot perennials are kept in the ground in our nurseries until fully dormant. In the Fall, these plants tend to arrive at the later end of the shipping window below.
We will pack and ship your order based on the following schedules. The type of product you order or the weather may affect the anticipated shipping schedule below. Based on the contents of your order we always strive to ship your order complete, and as early as possible in the planting season to allow for the best root development once planted.
