Taxus baccata, the English yew, is a slow-growing, long-lived evergreen conifer known for its dense, dark green, needle-like foliage and conical growth habit. Reaching heights of 30 to 60 feet, it features scaly reddish-brown bark and produces distinctive red, berry-like arils. Highly versatile, it is a premier choice for formal hedges and topiary due to its exceptional tolerance for pruning. It thrives in full sun to deep shade and prefers moist, well-drained, fertile soils.
