Description
Irish Yew is either a tree or shrub depending upon the size that it is kept. It is a terrific hedge plant, reaching 15'-30' tall and 3'-10' wide. It makes a bold vertical statement and looks great in formal and English cottage gardens. It prefers regular watering and will need extra summer watering in hot inland valleys.
