  • Description

  • Notes

Irish Yew is an evergreen grown as either a tree or shrub, depending upon the size that it is kept. It grows 15 to 30 feet tall and 4 to 8 feet wide, though it will do so slowly. Usually used as a hedge or screen, it makes a bold vertical statement. Needles are dark green above, streaked with dull green and narrow shining midrib below. Generally it is female, but male flowers appear on isolated branches.
