Taxus Baccata

Yew

Taxus baccata – Yew Topiary Ball (50–55cm) – Classic Evergreen Structure

Taxus baccata, the English Yew, shaped into a 50–55cm topiary ball, is a timeless and elegant evergreen feature. Its rich, dark green needles and naturally dense branching create a perfectly compact, long-lasting sphere that suits both traditional and contemporary garden designs. Known for its durability and ease of maintenance, this yew ball brings structure, formality, and all-season presence to borders, patios, and architectural layouts.


Seasonal Highlights

  • Spring: Fresh, soft new needles brighten the deep green foliage.

  • Summer: Dense evergreen canopy holds its shape and colour.

  • Autumn: Slow, steady growth maintains neat form with minimal clipping.

  • Winter: A strong evergreen anchor, providing structure when gardens are bare.


Key Features

  • Evergreen – Rich, dark foliage provides year-round colour.

  • Beautifully shaped – Compact, tidy topiary ball form.

  • Slow-growing – Holds its shape well with minimal maintenance.

  • Very hardy – One of the toughest evergreens for UK gardens.

  • Long-lived – Can thrive for decades with proper care.


Perfect For

  • Formal gardens – Adds symmetry and architectural balance.

  • Entrances – Ideal in pairs flanking doors or pathways.

  • Containers – Perfect for patios, terraces, or courtyards.

  • Borders – Provides evergreen structure among flowering plants.

  • Modern schemes – Works well with gravel, stone, and clean lines.


Growing Tips

  • Sun/Position: Thrives in full sun or partial shade.

  • Soil: Prefers well-drained soil; tolerant of chalk and clay once established.

  • Hardiness: Fully hardy across the UK, even in exposed gardens.

  • Care: Lightly trim once a year (late summer) to maintain the ball shape. Water during dry spells in the first season.


Looks Great With

  • Box and Ilex crenata – For mixed topiary displays.

  • Lavender or Nepeta – Softens formality with colour and scent.

  • Grasses – Add texture and movement nearby.

  • Structural evergreens – Photinia, Pittosporum, or Euonymus for layered form.


Taxus baccata Ball (50–55cm) is a refined, enduring evergreen topiary piece that offers timeless style, structure, and year-round reliability. Ideal for entrances, borders, or patios, it’s a classic that elevates any garden.
