Densiformis Yew is an evergreen shrub that is excellent for shadier locations.  The feathery needles have a good winter color, and the shrub can occasionally get red berries if a pollinator is nearby, as it is a female.  It says dense and can be sheared, growing wider than tall naturally.

It works well as a foundation planting.  It does best in partial shade.  It prefers moist soil but cannot tolerate wet soil.  This shrub does not have any serious pest or disease problems.
