Taxus baccata (English/Common Yew)

Taxus baccata, commonly known as English or Common Yew, is a versatile evergreen conifer with dark green foliage. This slow-growing tree typically has a narrow, columnar shape, making it suitable for small gardens and formal landscapes. It produces red berry-like fruits, known as arils, which are sweet and enjoyed by birds. The English Yew is also valued for its tolerance to pruning and shaping, often used for hedges and topiaries.
