Taxus baccata 'Black Tower'
Taxus 'Black Tower' is a compact, upright form of English Yew prized for its dense, columnar habit. Its closely packed branches carry rich dark green needles, creating a strong architectural shape and dependable colour throughout the year.
The narrow vertical growth provides valuable height without taking up excessive ground space. Its naturally neat outline requires minimal clipping, making it particularly effective as a formal accent, slender hedge or structured evergreen feature.
Ideal for smaller gardens, borders, entrances, containers, hedging and screening, this hardy conifer thrives in full sun or shade. It adapts to most well-drained soils and responds well to pruning when a more formal shape is required.
