Golden Irish Yew
Taxus baccata Fastigiata Aurea
This is a handsome, slow growing evergreen conifer which forms an attractive shape naturally, without any clipping or trimming. It is very tightly branched with a compact, upright growth habit, forming a dense column of beautiful yellow-green foliage with bright golden edges which give the whole plant a distinctive golden appearance. Its conical shape makes it ideal for use as a specimen plant, or to add height and winter structure to a mixed border. A very sought after tree which gives valuable vertical accent to the garden.

Garden Care:
No routine pruning is required because it maintains a neat, compact appearance without any pruning. If you need to control the size of the plant it may be cut back as required in spring or autumn. It’s also beneficial to apply a well-balanced, liquid fertiliser in spring to encourage new growth to develop during the growing season. Keep well watered during periods of hot, dry weather in the first growing season to ensure a deep, extensive root system is established.
