Wiki Draft

Daniels Nursery lists Taxus cuspidata Nana among the yews, not as a fruit cultivar. The 1950 catalog presents it as an ornamental evergreen with very dark foliage, “one of the richest, deepest greens,” almost blackish in color. [S1]

The source gives no breeder, origin, release date, parentage, or accession history. This record identifies it by the nursery name and its placement under “The Yews.” [S1]

The plant is described as very dwarf and compact. The catalog also lists small nursery sizes of 12-15 inches and 15-18 inches, suggesting it was sold as a low, dense landscape evergreen. [S1]

The source states no fruit quality, edible use, ripening season, storage behavior, disease notes, or cold hardiness zone. The broader page is a northern nursery evergreen section, but this entry does not directly claim hardiness for Taxus cuspidata Nana. [S1]
