Key features

Taxus baccata (English Yew)

English Yew is a long-lived native species that can be shaped into hedges or topiary - or allowed to grow into a considerable free-standing shrub or tree.

Fine-textured needles give this plant a unique visual weight that can be carved into attractive, formal lines.

Growth is typically reliable in both exposed and shaded positions, with regular pruning used to maintain form for screening plants.
