Insights
Taxus x media groenland grows upright with a bushy habit, so makes the perfect variety for clipping into round shapes. Traditionally, yew was planted in churchyards to prevent livestock having access to the poisonous seeds of the berries, while at the same encouraging the growth of a timber that was prized for making longbows, so effective in the Middle Ages.
