Taxus baccata (English Yew) Hedging Versatile and classic evergreen for dense, formal hedges Taxus baccata, commonly known as English Yew, is a traditional and highly valued evergreen for hedging. With its rich, dark green foliage and dense growth habit, it creates a thick, impenetrable barrier ideal for formal or privacy hedges. Yew is one of the most versatile and long-lived plants, offering year-round interest and the ability to be easily shaped through regular pruning.
