Taxus baccata – Yew Hedging 200cm Yew (Taxus baccata) is the classic choice for a timeless, evergreen hedge. Known for its dense, dark green needles and elegant form, it clips beautifully into formal lines and shapes, providing year-round structure and privacy. Supplied at 200cm, Yew offers instant height and screening, creating a mature hedge much more quickly than smaller sizes. With careful planting and steady growth, it develops into one of the most durable and refined hedges available, capable of lasting generations. In autumn, red arils (berries) appear on female plants, providing ornamental interest and food for birds. Hardy, shade-tolerant, and long-lived, Yew is suitable for a wide range of soils and locations, including urban and rural gardens. Why Choose Yew Hedging?
