Product description
Taxus baccata is commonly known as 'English Yew' and is an extremely popular UK native hedge that displays vibrant dark green foliage with red berries on the female plants in autumn. This slow growing conifer is perfect for noise reduction in your garden because it is so dense and is great for creating a formal hedge. This hedge is also excellent for wildbirds with the fruits in autumn from the female plants and the thick dense hedge that protects nesting for wildlife.
English Yew is suited to any soil types. Carpinus grows at around 1-2 feet per year but can be pruned to a manageable size.

Top Tip
Prune Taxus in early spring to maintain its shape and encourage dense growth.
How to Water
Water Taxus regularly, especially during dry periods, to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Once established, it is drought-tolerant, but still benefits from occasional watering in dry spells. Ensure good drainage to avoid root rot. Prune Taxus in early spring to maintain its shape and encourage dense growth.
How to Plant
Choose a well-draining spot in partial to full shade. Dig a hole slightly larger than the root ball, place the plant, and backfill with soil. Firm gently and water thoroughly. Space plants 30-60cm apart for hedges. Mulch to retain moisture.
