When we think of Conifers in their natural habitat it is a woodland scenario, where there is competition for light and more importantly for moisture. Most conifers will tolerate a bit of shade as long as they are growing in moist soil, however, there are a few varieties that will grow happily in more shady areas and many of these can be shaped into topiary forms so the possibilities of shape and form are endless.
Taxus Baccata is a very shade tolerant plant that will thrive in moist, well drained soil in just about any aspect. Known as the king of hedges, this is an incredibly versatile plant that can be used singly to punctuate a border, as a fabulously dense Yew hedge that is adored by wildlife and we have a lovely range of shaped topiary Yew in globes and spirals.
