Taxus Baccata - English Yew - Pot grown bushy plants 40-60cm

English Yew is an excellent choice for informal hedging, screens, or even used in topiary. It has dark-green, needle-like foliage with a broadly conical, upright growing habit. It can grow extremely large, and this Yew is one of the longest-lived trees in Europe. If planted correctly, Yew can be sure to last for many, many years to come. A compact, evergreen conifer whose foliage provides an excellent backdrop to a herbaceous perennial or shrub border.

Please note these are high-quality pot-grown plants, superior in our opinion to bare-rooted or rootballed yew, often used for establishing new hedges, but inevitably coming with problems with establishment due to having had the roots cut.
