Taxus baccata (English Yew) is a classic and highly versatile evergreen conifer, prized for its dense, dark green foliage, slow growth and exceptional longevity. Ideal for formal hedging, topiary or structural planting. It tolerates heavy pruning and responds well to shaping. Native to Europe, it thrives in sun or shade and a wide range of soil types, provided they are well-drained.
With its timeless elegance and year-round presence, it’s a top choice for traditional and contemporary gardens alike.
