PJM and Catawba hybrids are large-leaved types that do well in the city. Evergreen Shrubs J apanese Yew (Taxus cuspidata) The Japanese yew is the most widely planted evergreen shrub in the city. It grows in semi-shade as well as full sun and withstands wind and pollution. A single- trunked form (Taxus cuspidata capitata) grows into a large tree. The multitninked shrub varieties form excellent hedges and screens. It is a dense, compact plant with dark-green needles. The female plant has red berr...ies (which are poisonous) in the fall. All varieties can be sheared into formal shapes. J uniper (Juniperus varieties) Junipers are a large group of evergreen plants that includes tree, shrub, and ground-cover types. Because they withstand wind, drought, and poor soil, they are excellent choices for city planting. Foliage colors vary from bluish- grey to deep green among the many varieties. The chinensis varieties are particularly hardy and widely planted in Boston; columnaris, hetzii, pfitzeriana, sargentii are recommended.
