Details
Common Yew, Taxus baccata, is a large native tree that makes a classic evergreen hedging plant. Yew hedging has a rich, deep green colour and clips beautifully into formal lines, billowing curves and sturdy topiary. It is an ideal backdrop to any colourful flowerbed and it is tough enough to be a roadside hedge.
Yew is extremely tough, shade tolerant and will grow anywhere with decent drainage.
Yew will reach about 20 metres if it grows freely as a tree.
The plants on this page are young saplings, ideal for planting as hedging or in woodland projects. You can also buy larger Yew trees with rootballs, which are suitable for both hedges and specimen planting.
