Tree Top Ten: Yew No 7
At Natural Green, it’s the shaped Yews that clients request most: precision-cut pyramids or spirals that bring instant formality and grandeur. Their deep green foliage holds its colour year-round, making them a reliable choice for entrances, avenues, or hospitality terraces.
Taxus baccata, or the English Yew, has been cultivated for centuries, often seen framing stately homes, churchyards, and historic gardens. Known for its longevity — some Yews in the UK are over 2,000 years old — it’s a tree that symbolises endurance and timelessness.
