Yew (Taxus baccata) Topiary Cone

Our Yew Topiary Cone is a tightly clipped evergreen feature designed to bring structure, height and architectural interest to garden spaces. With its clean, formal shape, it works beautifully in borders, containers, entrances and symmetrical planting schemes.

Taxus baccata, also known as English Yew, is a classic UK native evergreen widely used for hedging and topiary. Its dense, dark green foliage and naturally compact growth habit make it ideal for precise shaping and long-lasting garden structure.

Key Features

• Form: Pre-clipped topiary cone
• Foliage: Dense evergreen needles
• Growth Habit: Slow-growing and highly shapeable
• Position: Full sun, partial shade or shade
• Best For: Formal gardens, containers and architectural planting

This topiary cone is perfect for adding vertical interest and structure, whether used as a standalone feature or paired in symmetrical designs such as entrances or pathways. It also combines well with other forms like balls, cubes and standards for a more layered planting scheme.

Yew responds extremely well to regular trimming, typically once or twice a year, helping maintain its crisp shape and dense appearance. Its slow growth makes it easy to manage while ensuring long-term formality.

Suitable for most soil types except waterlogged conditions, Yew performs reliably in both sunny and shaded locations. Using good quality planting compost is recommended to support strong establishment.
