This is the old favorite of English gardens. Native of Europe and North 
Africa to the Himalayas. Deep green, rapid growing in goed soil, very dense. 
Will do quite well in poor soil and in dry situations. One of the best of all

or shade. ‘The English Yew has this great advantage in hedges, in common 
with all the yews: the trees make uniform growth all along the line regardless 
of sun or shade. Hardy evergreen.
