Taxus Bacatta A gardener's favourite for formal garden hedging! Taxus Bacatta is a classic when it comes to formal garden hedging & garden topiary. This variety is popular & a widely praised English Yew, due to its resilience & ability to handle all kinds of poor weather conditions! This excellent evergreen shrub is medium-sized & bushy, with narrow, leathery, very deep green leaves. Male plants produce yellow cones in spring & female plants produce red cup-shaped non-edible autumn fruits. This strong & sturdy plant often grows up to a height of 2000cm which makes it perfect for screen hedging & privacy too. You could grow the Taxus Bacatta for privacy & hedging, or as a deep green backdrop to summer beds & borders. It really will make colourful flowers pop! Therefore, it's also no surprise that this versatile shrub holds an RHS Award of Garden Merit & continues to be a gardener's favourite.
