The foliage is composed of flat, linear needles arranged in two ranks along the shoots, deep glossy green on the upper surface and paler beneath. Fresh growth emerging in spring carries a softer, lighter green tone that contrasts beautifully with the mature dark needles, adding subtle seasonal interest to an otherwise consistent plant.

It has a well-documented dislike of prolonged waterlogging, which can lead to root problems over time, so on heavy or poorly drained ground it benefits from the incorporation of horticultural grit or organic matter at planting.

Unlike many conifers, Yew will regenerate freely from old wood, meaning even badly neglected or heavily overgrown plants can be cut back hard and will recover with vigour. This makes it uniquely forgiving among conifers and an outstanding long-term investment for the garden.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWildlife and safety.\u003c\/strong\u003e The red arils produced by female plants are an important food source for birds, particularly thrushes, and the dense growth provides excellent nesting and roosting habitat. It is important to note, however, that all parts of the plant — with the exception of the fleshy red aril itself — are highly toxic to humans, horses, and most livestock, and should be planted with care in gardens where these are present.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLong-term growth.\u003c\/strong\u003e Common Yew is a slow to moderate grower, typically advancing around 20–30 cm per year under good conditions. This measured pace means that once the desired size and shape are achieved, relatively little effort is needed to maintain them, making \u003cem\u003eTaxus baccata\u003c\/em\u003e one of the most rewarding and low-maintenance evergreens available for the long-term garden.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Grasslands Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57736130888006,"sku":"174369","price":670.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/7948\/8326\/files\/Yew-Hedging-Root-Ball-60-80cm_172882_2026-09-25_6eb89280-0607-4ed9-8213-a0f2e8309acd.jpg?v=1793274216"},{"product_id":"big-deal-yew-hedging-root-ball-90-100cm-tall-40cm-wide-x-30","title":"Big Deal Yew Hedging Root Ball 90-100cm Tall x 30","description":null,"brand":"Grasslands Nursery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57738275193158,"sku":"174370","price":600.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/7948\/8326\/files\/Yew-Hedging-Root-Ball-90-100cm-Tall-40cm-Wide_172884_2026-10-19_74b9c0a2-cf95-4f1d-8c88-4bf6d4197f1c.jpg?v=1793285016"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0796\/7948\/8326\/collections\/yew.jpg?v=1758535102","url":"https:\/\/www.grasslands.co.uk\/collections\/yew-hedging-big-deal.oembed?page=2","provider":"Grasslands Nursery","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
