Taxus baccata – Hedging
Undoubtedly the ‘posh’ choice for creating a uniformed and elegant hedge line or for more creative and curvaceous delineations/partitions. Little else looks as sharp as yew or retains its clipped shape. Yew is relatively slow growing, so if you are looking for instant impact, you’ll want to follow Flo’s advice which is, ‘to get it at the height you want it’. Clipping twice a year is important to encourage growth, density, and the fusion of the individual plants into one solid hedge line.
