Why Choose English Yew for Hedging?
English Yew hedging plants are a reliable choice for low-maintenance, long-lived boundaries. Suitable for both privacy screens and formal hedges, yew tolerates regular trimming and regrows from old wood for easy shape management.
Wildlife and Garden Benefits
- Female plants produce red berries, attracting birds in winter
- Dense structure for effective noise and wind screening
- Provides shelter for wildlife
FAQ
- How quickly does English Yew fill out? Grows 20–30cm per year and thickens well with annual trim.
- Is 120–150cm tall enough for privacy? Plants this size can create an immediate medium-height screen, filling out in 2–3 seasons.
- English Yew vs. Laurel? Yew is slower growing but longer-lived, easier to trim closely, and stays narrower than laurel.
- Is it low-maintenance? Yes, needs only 1–2 trims/year; responds well even if pruned hard.
- Does it provide year-round colour? Yes, the dense evergreen foliage remains vibrant through all seasons.
Common questions
Bare root plants are field-grown and lifted dormant — the cheapest way to plant a hedge. Pot grown plants have an established root system and can be planted year-round. Root ball plants are mature field-grown plants lifted with a soil ball for instant height.
Pot grown plants can go in the ground at any time of year. Bare root is supplied dormant from November to March, and root ball plants are lifted in that same window.
3 plants per metre for a standard single-row hedge, or 5 per metre (staggered double row) for a dense screen.
