Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know before you sow.

Why is English yew commonly used for formal hedges?

Its dense evergreen foliage responds well to shaping and can form a structured hedge when plants are spaced and pruned appropriately.

How slowly does English yew grow from seed?

English yew is slow-growing, and seed propagation can take considerable time because germination may be delayed by dormancy.

Can English yew be shaped into topiary?

Yes. Its dense branching and tolerance of pruning make established yew suitable for many formal shapes and topiary styles.

What makes yew foliage different from broadleaf evergreens?

Yew has narrow, needle-like leaves arranged along woody branches, giving the plant a fine-textured evergreen appearance.

Does English yew produce fruit?

It produces red, fleshy seed-bearing structures around the seeds. The seeds themselves are not safe to consume.

Why should English yew be kept away from grazing animals?

Yew contains toxic compounds throughout much of the plant. Keep seeds, foliage and plant material away from pets and livestock.
