Height, 2 ft. Y Yew (Taxus).For landscape gardening the old gold-striped (Baccata Aurea Variegata) is most effective.

The Common Yew (Baccata) grows dense and bushy, and is excellent for hedges.

The dark green leaves of the Irish Yew (Baccata Fastigiata) make a fine contrast with lighter foliage.

The low, almost stemless Yucca baccata, with beautiful lily-flowers and sweet banana-like fruit, prized by the Indians, is common along the cañon rim, growing on lean, rocky soil beneath mountain-mahogany, nut-pines, and junipers, beside dense flowery mats of Spiraea caespitosa and the beautiful pinnate-leaved Spiraea millefolium.
