Create a timeless, elegant evergreen hedge with this great value pack of 6 individual English Yew (Taxus baccata) Hedging Trees, supplied as large, established specimens approximately 50–60cm tall, each grown in its own individual 3 litre pot by Direct Plants. Carefully grown and selected at our award-winning family nursery in Norfolk, these premium evergreen conifers are one of Britain's most prestigious native hedging plants, renowned for their dense growth, exceptional longevity, and classic appearance.
English Yew has been used for centuries in some of the UK's finest formal gardens, estates, and country homes. Its rich dark green evergreen foliage, naturally dense habit, and slow, controlled growth make it one of the very best choices for creating an elegant, long-lasting hedge that responds exceptionally well to clipping and shaping.
Unlike faster-growing conifers, English Yew develops into a thick, luxurious hedge with outstanding year-round colour and can be maintained at virtually any height, making it ideal for both formal and informal gardens.
This great value pack contains 6 large individual trees, perfect for establishing a premium hedge, creating formal garden boundaries, or planting as elegant evergreen feature specimens.
Supplied as six strong, healthy individual trees, each grown in its own 3 litre pot, these premium specimens provide excellent establishment and immediate garden impact.
