So, I am unsure what the proper name is for this one golden yew I have in the garden...
Here are the possibilities: 1. Taxus baccata 'Nana Aurescens'
Are there two different cultivars? 'Nana Aurescens' being slower-growing than regular 'Aurescens'?
Also, are there two separate species with the same cultivar name, or did someone get baccata and cuspidata mixed up along the line? Thank you knowledgeable folk for your help! -Sam |

| Hahaha Ken... Yes, I am in fact "pining for an answer" because I am including this plant in my 4th album dedicated to conifers on the Albers Vista Gardens Facebook page (see link), and I wanted to insure that I had it correct before it was published. I think it's Taxus baccata 'Aurescens', but I just wanted to double-check. -Sam |

| Why do you tax us with questions like this? That plant needs sprucing up a bit so you can cedar shape better. But if you prefir it the way it is, let it be. |

| Someone once said, "pun is the lowest form of wit". Juniper in the bud before it got any further? Sorry, that one was stretching it a bit... |

| Haha Thanks, guys. So, the Nana is unnecessary, and it is cuspidata. -Sam |
