Yew (Taxus)

For landscape gardening the old gold-striped (BaccataAurea Variegata) is most effective. The Japanese variety, T. Adpressa, is a pleasing evergreen having dark green leaves and large scarlet berries; it is very suitable for the front of large borders. The Common Yew (Baccata) grows



dense and bushy, and is excellent for hedges. The dark green leaves of the Irish Yew (Baccata Fastigiata) make a fine contrast with lighter foliage. Dovastonii is a fine Weeping Yew with long dark green leaves and extra large red berries. There are many other good sorts. The Yew likes shade and moisture, but it is not very particular as to soil, loams and clays suiting it admirably.
