A classic evergreen conifer valued for its dense, dark green foliage and exceptional tolerance to pruning, making it ideal for formal hedges and topiary. This long lived native tree produces attractive red berries on female plants, though all parts except the berry flesh are toxic if ingested. Thriving in sun or shade, it adapts to most well drained soils and withstands urban pollution, drought and exposed sites once established. Its slow growth and longevity make it perfect for creating permanent garden structure, while its ability to regenerate from old wood allows for reshaping over time. A premier choice for traditional gardens seeking year round privacy screens or architectural evergreen features.
