Yew trees are beautiful, evergreen hedge plants.Thanks to their extraordinary resistance to cutting, combined with an impressive ability to regenerate themselves, they have been among the most popular garden and park ornamental plants for centuries.The only European species of this numerous genus is the common yew Taxus baccata.
Cis - developmental features
Medium-tall trees or large shrubs usually develop a few trunks, side shoots emerge from the trunk from the ground. Plants can reach a height of 5 to 15 m and a width of 5 to 10 m. Currently, there are over 100 different forms of yew.Depending on the variety, they are distinguished by a columnar or bushy habit and yellow or green needles.
Yew stand
The optimal conditions for development are sunny or semi-shaded places. Yew trees also bear full shade, but then they grow slowly.They grow best in fresh substrate with high air humidity.
Cis - planting
Yews with a root ball are planted in early autumn, then they still have enough time to take root before winter.
Cis - care
We prune in the spring, before the plants start to sprout.Yew is the only conifer that breaks out of the old, non-green parts of the stem.Specimens that do not grow densely enough can be rejuvenated by strong pruning.
Cis - application
Yew is suitable for solitary and group plantings, including, of course, hedges.Trees / shrubs grow very densely, so they are eagerly chosen for cover. Their advantage is the ease of forming.
Tip
All parts of the yew (except the aril) are poisonous, so be careful not to let children come into contact with it.
