Taxus × media ‘Farmen’ is an evergreen shrub selected for its low, spreading form and long-term reliability rather than height or decorative features. It develops gradually into a wide, grounded plant with dense, dark green foliage that gives strong year-round presence without dominating surrounding planting. Unlike upright yews, this variety naturally favours width over height, making it well suited to low boundaries, foreground structure, or use as a solitary architectural shrub. Growth is slow and predictable, allowing it to be shaped or left informal with minimal effort. Tough, adaptable, and enduring, ‘Farmen’ is an excellent choice for gardens where controlled size and permanence matter more than speed.
