Taxus x Media Groenland Yew Hedging

Taxus Media Groenland Yew for Hedging
A member of the yew family, Taxus Media Groenland (Taxus Media Greenland) or Yew Groenland, as it is more commonly known, is ideally suited for hedging. This bushy evergreen boasts conifer-like soft green needles that retain their colour throughout the seasons and has an upright bushy growth habit. As it is usually the case with all yew cultivars, Taxus Media Greenland is slow-growing, so if you are to use it for hedging, we recommend buying the largest specimens your budget will allow.

The stiff, upright shoots bear glossy green foliage. The needle-like leaves are borne in ascending sprays and create a thick wall of green that stays completely unchanged year-round, both in density and colour.
