Landscaping yews aren’t native to Idaho - most are varieties of Japanese or European/English yews.

The Botanic Garden alone, the oldest in the country, could absorb an entire day, and even in autumn intoxicates with its grasses, dahlias, salvias, English yews and something called “purple bush.”

To my mind, the old English yew is a greater favourite than the many foreign evergreens now introduced.

Spanish yew is considered the choicest, next comes the Italian, then the English yew; lancewood and lancewood backed with hickory are used more than any other.
