Insights
Also called Irish Yew or Hiberican Yew, Taxus baccata fastigiata was found in County Fermanagh in 1780, thought to be a mutant form of Common Yew. Decoding the name unlocks the plant: fastigiata means the branches grow parallel to the trunk, baccata means the plant bears berries. A recipient of the RHS AGM (Award of Garden Merit), for all round excellence in the garden.
