Zulauf Yew, English Yew, European yew

The Common Yew is botanically known as Taxus baccata. This plant is an evergreen, pyramidal-growing species that can be used in tree gardens, as a hedge plant, or in ornamental gardens. It prefers a humus-rich soil and can reach a height of 5 to 7 meters. It is native and tolerates both shady and sunny locations.

Although it is bird-friendly, it should be noted that this plant is highly toxic and not edible. The plant is low-maintenance and is well-suited for beginners. It requires regularly moist soil and is frost-resistant, which means it thrives well even in colder winters.
