Yew is an English native tree with dense, dark foliage & forms superb, dense hedges from 1m to 3m or more, providing excellent screening, almost total shelter from wind & weather & excellent privacy. An evergreen conifer that is easy to manage, it grows at 20-30cm a year, quicker than many people think & once its desired height is reached, it's easy to maintain. Yew responds well to frequent trimming, but also, if you're short on time, it can also be cut just once a year in late summer. Densely growing, yew is very easy to grow, shade tolerant, very hardy, & will grow in most soils apart from heavy clay. With bright green growth in spring & bright red autumn berries (which are very attractive to wild birds), Yew will also provide texture & fresh colour in your garden, especially in winter. Although plants can grow very large (they are trees after all), by planting them close & clipping every year, you can maintain them at a very respectable height. Supplied as 10 x established plants in 9cm pots, ready to be planted out straight away.
