It’s a medium-sized, evergreen shrub of narrowly columnar habit, leathery, needle-like dark green leaves, and inconspicuous flowers followed by red, berry-like fruits. Irish Yew ‘Fastigata Robusta’ grows best in evenly moist, fertile, sandy, loamy, well-drained soils in full sun, partial shade and full shade. It is very resistant to frost and wind.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
