Yew (Taxus baccata)

Yew foliage is very poisonous to livestock, but birds and small mammals love the berries and the trees - or hedging - as a habitat. It doesn't seem to be grown much now as a specimen tree; when looking for a yew people tend to go more for the Irish variety, with its more fastigiate and tidy habit. Yew is an easy tree to grow, forgiving of even the most shady conditions and soils if not wet, although best results for a formal hedge will come if the soil is well prepared. Found naturally, it's most often associated with limestone or chalk soils. Yew grows at half the rate of other native trees, which can be handy, and like the Ash can change sex from year to year.

History in Britain

The Yew is the most ancient of British trees. Specimens in Wales have been dated back to 4,500 year old, and it has always occupied a unique part of our mythology and culture. Its strange regenerative powers are still not understood, and it can bleed mysteriously. Yew's association with burial sites is pre-Christian, and its tough wood used from time immemorial, most famously for long-bows, for which use it was often planted. Yew woods from all over Europe were decimated to meet the English's insatiable demand for bow staves in the Middle Ages. Yew wood was used for bows from the Neolithic, but also, later, for wine barrels and ship masts; it resists the action of water very well.

Plants For Sale

We're currently offering good sized 2 litre containerised Yew plants, which are up to 60cm tall. 

Like all the native trees we sell, our Yews are grown in the UK from UK origin seed.

Suppliers: RV Roger, British Hardwood Trees.

See our planting and size guide for details and tips on planting. Our Yew trees are available for delivery from November until March. During the lifting season there may be up to a month's delay between placing the order and dispatching, due to weather conditions or pressure of orders, which are dealt with in date sequence. Orders for Yews placed between March and September are confirmed in October ready for dispatch from November.

Have a look at our videos on what to do when your plants arrive and how to plant a bare root tree. Please ask about larger trees; we can often supply them but will need to quote on an individual basis as carriage varies so much.

Lightweight but I like it
Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel
Honestly fantastic for the price. It's just heavy enough to not get yanked around. It's pretty. And it has not looked like it has any wear or anything yet. I would recommend it. Especially for the price. If you want something a little bit more heavy duty I would definitely go with something else but I've had no issues

It gets the job done.
Color: Silver, Material Type: Stainless Steel
These some on a flat piece of cardboard, and I was concerned. It goes together well, and has held up to Highschooler use for a month so far. It looks nice, but is nothing fancy. If you are looking for any sort of resistance for your paper towel for tearing, this product probably isn't for you. It is weighted enough for it to not fall over, it looks nice enough to be fine but not nice enough to want to steal. Exactly what I was looking for. If you are searching for the perfect paper towel holder... you probably will take issue with this one. If you just need a new paper towel holder, this one might do.

Bottom screw will rust and permanently stain counter
Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel, Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel
Besides the ungalvanized or stainless steel bottom screw that rusts at the first sign of moisture this product has held up incredibly well. I've used the product for 3 years and that is the only problem. I'm probably going to get a deduction in my security deposit for the rust stains that have permeated the countertop. The rest of the product is really well made and holds up well

Crafting Convenience: Sturdy and Stylish One-Handed Towel Holder for Creative Spaces
Color: Black, Material Type: Stainless Steel
Thisit has become a great addition to my craft area. The struggle to find a convenient place for paper towels is real, especially when crafting can get a bit messy. Prior attempts with a magnetic holder fell short, as it couldn't support the weight of a full paper towel roll. The promise of a one-handed dispensing solution was intriguing and seemed like the perfect fit for my needs. While I can't unequivocally say this holder allows for flawless one-handed dispensing – it seems the success of that feature might depend on the angle at which the towel is torn – it's still a significant upgrade from my previous setup. The sturdy stand ensures the towels are always within reach, without the risk of the holder tipping over or the roll coming loose. Apart from its functionality, the aesthetic aspect of this towel holder is a notable advantage. Its minimalist design doesn't just save space; it also contributes to the overall look and feel of my crafting space. The wrought iron style is a perfect match with my other accessories, creating a cohesive and stylish environment. In conclusion, this towel holder is more than just a functional tool; it's a stylish addition that enhances the convenience and appearance of my crafting area. Its sturdy build, practical design, and complementary style make it a winner in my book.
