Yew (Taxus)
For landscape gardening the old gold-striped (BaccataAurea Variegata) is most effective. The Japanese variety, T.
Adpressa, is a pleasing evergreen having dark green leaves and large
scarlet berries; it is very suitable for the front of large borders.
The Common Yew (Baccata) grows
dense and bushy, and is excellent for
hedges. The dark green leaves of the Irish Yew (Baccata Fastigiata)
make a fine contrast with lighter foliage. Dovastonii is a fine
Weeping Yew with long dark green leaves and extra large red berries.
There are many other good sorts. The Yew likes shade and moisture,
but it is not very particular as to soil, loams and clays suiting it
admirably.
