English Yew (Taxus baccata) is one of our most traditional species with its familiar dense dark green appearance. A most favoured highly prized hedging plant often seen in churchyards it is used widely as hedging or topiary. Although it is slow growing it will suit most soils as long as the area is well drained and the growth rate can be improved slightly by good ground preparation.
