Each 1-metre trough contains 5 expertly grown plants, 80–100cm tall with 20–25cm foliage width, providing immediate visual structure, privacy, and maturity on installation.

Known as English Yew, Taxus baccata is celebrated for its dense, dark green needle-like foliage, longevity, and slow, steady growth.
