Taxus cuspidata 'Nana Aurescens' is an outstanding, sunny-yellow, low-spreading, dwarf selection of Japanese yew. It is noted for its eye-catching brilliant yellow foliage in spring that darkens to typical rich green by the end of the growing season. After 10 years of growth, a specimen will be considered mature at 2 feet (60 cm) tall and 3 feet (90 cm) wide, a rate of growth of around 2 to 3 inches (5 - 7.5 cm) per year.

Color is best with some shade.
