Looking for reliable, stylish hedges that offer privacy, structure and timeless appeal? Yew, or Taxus baccata, is a truly outstanding evergreen that ticks every box.

Native to the UK and widely used in formal gardens, Yew is an elegant, dark green hedge plant that creates a dense screen and holds its shape beautifully. It’s a slow and steady grower, which means you won't be constantly trimming it, but it responds exceptionally well to pruning. Ideal if you're aiming for a crisp, formal line or sculptural topiary.

These plants last a lifetime. Once they're in and growing, you'll get decades of reliable structure and year-round interest. They are hardy through even the coldest winters, and cope well with drought and shade once established. And because they are evergreen, they give your garden a strong backbone in every season.

Pair with box, holly or hornbeam to create a mixed native hedge, but they also work brilliantly grown as a single variety. Just space them evenly, water in well, and give a trim once or twice a year depending on your desired finish.

Supplied as a set of 12 established plants, 25-35cm tall, in 8cm pots, ready to plant. Please note: This product cannot be delivered to Northern Ireland.
