About this plant
Add formal structure and year-round greenery to your garden with the distinguished Irish Yew. This sophisticated conifer boasts dense, dark green needles that maintain their vibrant color through every season, making it an excellent choice for creating strong vertical accents. Its naturally narrow, upright habit makes it ideal for formal gardens, hedging, or as a striking specimen plant in smaller spaces where vertical interest is desired without taking up significant lateral room. It also performs beautifully in large containers, providing an architectural element on patios or entryways. Extremely versatile and adaptable, the Irish Yew is a low-maintenance plant that offers enduring beauty and a touch of refined elegance to any landscape design.
Care & maintenance
Generally low-maintenance. Prune lightly in late winter or early spring to maintain desired shape and density. Avoid heavy pruning into old wood. Fertilize annually in spring with a balanced evergreen fertilizer.
