Put quite simply, yew is the king of hedges. There is not another evergreen so well suited for growing as a hedge, as this brilliant UK-native conifer. With its fine, dark-green needles, held on densely branching stems, this plant stands pruning better than any other, even tolerating occasional hard renovation back to old wood. Grow it as a high hedge or one just 1m tall; the effect will be the same. Regular trimming results in the tightest, sharpest effects, such as those seen in the finest gardens up and down the land. We are in awe, for example, of the incredible historic examples at Powis Castle in Wales. Taxus baccata is among the most long-lived of all hedges, but despite this it grows, once established, quite rapidly and stands a range of sites, as long as they are well drained. It’s toxic so do not ingest or grow near livestock. Taxus baccata holds an Award of Garden Merit (AGM) from the Royal Horticultural Society (RHS) which is given only to the best garden plants.
