Description
Yew 'Baccata'
The Taxus 'Baccata', also known as the Yew Tree, is a highly prized conifer known for its dense, dark green foliage and classic conical silhouette. It is an excellent choice for both formal and informal garden designs, providing year-round interest and structure.
The plants supplied are 100 to 125 cm high, excluding the pot, and are ideal for creating a 10-metre hedge. We recommend planting 2 plants per metre with a spacing of approximately 20 cm. The plants are supplied in a 35 cm diameter pot with a capacity of 15 litres and are pot-grown, which benefits the quality and stability of the plants.
