Description
Taxus baccata Readybag (Pallet)
Taxus baccata (English Yew) is the quintessential hedge plant, renowned for its use in the most prestigious gardens, stately homes, and palaces for centuries. This evergreen shrub is celebrated for its dense foliage, which forms a brilliant backdrop to any garden, as well as its versatility in being shaped into precise geometric and formal designs.
Whether maintained as a low hedge at 45-60 cm or allowed to grow into a towering hedge exceeding 250 cm, English Yew retains its density and elegance at any height. With regular trimming, this plant forms a beautiful, compact hedge, though if left untrimmed, it will produce small flowers and red berries in the autumn.
Taxus baccata is one of the few conifers native to the United Kingdom, commonly found growing on chalk soils. While it prefers well-drained conditions and may struggle in waterlogged soils, it is highly adaptable, thriving in everything from pure chalk to acidic, peaty soils. English Yew adds a touch of elegance and provides an low-maintenance hedging option that enhances landscape for years to come.
Awarded the Royal Horticultural Society’s Award of Garden Merit in 1984, Taxus baccata remains a top choice for those seeking a classic and durable solution.
