Taxus baccata

Taxus baccata, commonly known as English Yew, is a classic evergreen conifer widely used for hedging, topiary, and specimen planting. Renowned for its dense, dark green foliage and slow, controlled growth, this versatile tree provides year-round interest and structure in both formal and informal gardens. With an ultimate height of up to 10 metres and a spread of 4 metres, it can be maintained at a desired height through regular trimming.

This hardy species thrives in well-drained soils, including chalk, loam, clay, and sand, making it adaptable to various growing conditions. It flourishes in full sun to deep shade and is highly resistant to urban pollution, drought, and exposure. Taxus baccata is ideal for creating long-lived, elegant hedges and is one of the few conifers that regenerate well from old wood, ensuring its longevity.

English Yew is an excellent choice for traditional garden designs, historic landscapes, and contemporary planting schemes. Its dense growth makes it an effective noise and wind barrier, while its tolerance for pruning allows for precise shaping and intricate topiary.
