‘Hillii’ yew is a male hybrid forming a dense, upright pyramid 4 m tall that never fruits, avoiding messy arils. Dark evergreen needles tolerate deep shade, heavy pruning and urban pollution, making it a top choice for formal hedges and column accents. Plant in sun or shade on any well‑drained soil; hardy to −30 °C and drought‑resistant when established. Shear in late summer for crisp lines and feed in spring to deepen colour.
