Forming a dense evergreen column, this stately yew makes a handsome, stand-alone specimen, but it also looks spectacular when used to line a path or driveway. It's invaluable for adding structure and formality to borders or pots - and can even be used for hedging. The upright stems are clothed in gold-edged foliage, and this adds colour throughout the year, but it looks particularly luminous during the winter.
