Taxus baccata 'Summergold'
common yew 'Summergold'
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: any fertile, well-drained soil
- Rate of growth: slow-growing
- Hardiness: fully hardy
Slowly forming a bushy mound, which could be clipped to form a very neat dome, this adaptable and easy to grow evergreen offers year round interest. When grown in full sun, the new foliage emerges in a bright yellow-green flush, but as the season progresses, the colour becomes greener. Tough and undemanding, this low growing golden yew is ideal for a low-maintenance garden. - Garden care: Trim or renovate in late summer or early autumn.
- Humans/Pets: TOXIC if eaten
