With its impressive lifespan and versatility, the Taxus baccata, or English Yew, is a must-have for any landscaping or gardening project. Standing up to 20 meters tall, this evergreen tree boasts a stunning trunk wrapped in a coat of shiny dark green needles, and produces striking red berries that can add a pop of color to your outdoor space. Not only is it visually appealing, but this tree can also serve as a privacy screen, hedge, or add an artful touch to any topiary creation. Trust the experts who have estimated its potential age to range from 2,000 to 9,500 years, making it Europe's longest living plant.The yew prefers moist soil with perfect drainage and can tolerate shade, making it versatile in various garden settings. However, it is important to note that all parts of this plant, except for the sweet and gelatinous aril surrounding the seed, are highly toxic to humans and animals.
The Taxus baccata is a slow-growing, dioecious tree that can be found in Europe, north Africa, and western Asia in USDA zones 6 and above. It attracts birds and other wildlife, making it a great choice for gardens.

To effectively germinate English Yew seeds, soak them in water and allow them to stand for 24 hours. Further, warm stratify the seeds for at least 90 days or cold stratify them for at least 60 days. For optimal germination, sow the seeds at a depth of 3/8", keeping the soil moist and lightly mulched. Optionally, provide some shading and consider sowing outdoors in the fall for spring germination.
