Taxus baccata

Description:

One of our favourite and signature plants, Yew is a versatile and attractive shrub which will eventually grow into a small tree if left unpruned. It has excellent regenerative powers which makes it perfect for hedging and topiary. Naturally bushy with narrow, darkest green foliage, it is an excellent choice if neat lines and classic style is your thing. This plant is poisonous if ingested.
