Abstract
A new variety from dwarf Taxus or Hicksi yew particularly distinguished by its very hardy and compact naturally global growth habit and its much richer color than other plants of the hicksi family. Also, this new plant readily withstands the harshest weather conditions and has no signs of winter or spring burn which affects other plants grown in the same open areas in which my new plant is cultivated.
