Yew (Taxus baccata)

Yew foliage is very poisonous to livestock, but birds and small mammals love the berries and the trees - or hedging - as a habitat. It doesn't seem to be grown much now as a specimen tree; when looking for a yew people tend to go more for the Irish variety, with its more fastigiate and tidy habit. Yew is an easy tree to grow, forgiving of even the most shady conditions and soils if not wet, although best results for a formal hedge will come if the soil is well prepared. Found naturally, it's most often associated with limestone or chalk soils. Yew grows at half the rate of other native trees, which can be handy, and like the Ash can change sex from year to year.

History in Britain

The Yew is the most ancient of British trees. Specimens in Wales have been dated back to 4,500 year old, and it has always occupied a unique part of our mythology and culture. Its strange regenerative powers are still not understood, and it can bleed mysteriously. Yew's association with burial sites is pre-Christian, and its tough wood used from time immemorial, most famously for long-bows, for which use it was often planted. Yew woods from all over Europe were decimated to meet the English's insatiable demand for bow staves in the Middle Ages. Yew wood was used for bows from the Neolithic, but also, later, for wine barrels and ship masts; it resists the action of water very well.

Plants For Sale

We're currently offering good sized 2 litre containerised Yew plants, which are up to 60cm tall. 

Like all the native trees we sell, our Yews are grown in the UK from UK origin seed.

Suppliers: RV Roger, British Hardwood Trees.

See our planting and size guide for details and tips on planting. Our Yew trees are available for delivery from November until March. During the lifting season there may be up to a month's delay between placing the order and dispatching, due to weather conditions or pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence. Orders for Yews placed between March and September are confirmed in October ready for dispatch from November.

Have a look at our videos on what to do when your plants arrive and how to plant a bare root tree. Please ask about larger trees; we can often supply them but will need to quote on an individual basis as carriage varies so much.

Good for a few months
They are ceramic coated which means the non stick feature works well with pancakes bacon and eggs. After about 9 months they are beginning to show wear and tear but the color is cute and these are great for someone who just moved into their new place. Will need to replaced after probably a year.
