Taxus baccata 'Standishii'

A dense, slow growing upright selection of yew with attractive golden-yellow foliage in summer, by the time Taxus baccata 'Standishii' reaches a height of 200 cm ( 6 ft), it will be just 30 cm (1 ft) wide.

This yew will keep this shape with no pruning or trimming and therefore grows as a superb formal conifer and is an ideal choice for a garden with limited space. Can be grown well in a large container.
