Taxus baccata 'David'
yew
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: moist, well-drained neutral to slightly acid soil
- Rate of growth: slow-growing
- Hardiness: fully hardy
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 they year, but it looks particularly luminous during the winter. - Garden care: Trim or renovate in late summer or early autumn.
- Humans/Pets: TOXIC if eaten
