🌿 English Yew (Taxus baccata) | Potted | 60–80cm | 5 Litre

Establish your yew hedge now — dense, dark, and built to last centuries.
At 60–80cm in height, this potted English Yew is the ideal starting size for planting a new hedge from scratch or infilling gaps in an existing one. Supplied in a 5 litre pot with a well-developed root system, it establishes quickly and grows steadily at 20–40cm per year. Plant at 2 per metre for a dense, formal hedge that will define your garden for generations.

✨ Features & Benefits

• Strong root system: Potted stock establishes reliably — plant any time of year when the ground isn't frozen.

• Faster than you think: Grows 20–40cm per year in the right conditions — sun or shade.

• Exceptionally versatile: Thrives in full sun, partial shade, and even deep shade — one of the most adaptable hedging plants available.

• Dense, dark foliage: Rich, deep green needles create a luxurious, formal backdrop year-round.

• Topiary-ready: Responds superbly to clipping — ideal for shaped hedges, columns, and formal features.
