The Yew Cylinder at 2.2m is beautifully composed — the sort of topiary that doesn’t shout for attention but inevitably receives it. Its clean, vertical form brings order to planting schemes, lending gardens a pleasing sense of intention.
As ever, yew doesn’t care for untidiness. Slow-growing, evergreen and wonderfully obliging under the shears, it allows the cylinder to be refined rather than constantly corrected. The result is a dense, disciplined form that looks unruffled in every season and never appears flustered by winter.

How will my hedge arrive?
This hedge is supplied root balled and wrapped in hessian: the traditional, time-tested way. Grown in the field and lifted in season, it arrives well prepared for planting and settles in with reassuring reliability.
Growing & Care
Yew cylinder topiary prefers well-drained soil and is notably unfussy about light, performing just as well in shade as it does in sun. Water regularly during establishment (especially given its height), then settle into a sensible routine of trimming once or twice a year. Yew responds wonderfully to careful shaping and rewards patience with increasingly crisp lines.
Common Uses
Cylinders are often used to frame views, line approaches or bring rhythm to long runs of planting. Their vertical emphasis adds structure without heaviness, making them particularly effective in formal gardens where clarity is everything.
Did you know?
Vertical topiary forms have long been used to guide the eye through a garden — a gentle suggestion of where one ought to look, or stroll, next.
FAQs
Hedges can be particular creatures. If yours is behaving oddly - or you are - we're always happy to advise. The answer may be waiting below.
What is yew cylinder topiary used for? +
Yew cylinders are ideal for framing views, defining entrances or introducing strong vertical structure along paths and boundaries. They add order and emphasis without overwhelming their neighbours.
How do you keep a yew cylinder straight and even? +
Trim once or twice a year, working methodically around the plant to keep balance on all sides. Light, regular shaping maintains straight lines and encourages dense, uniform growth.
Is yew cylinder suitable for shade? +
Yes. Yew is famously tolerant of shade, which makes this form useful in courtyards, north-facing gardens or anywhere other plants might quietly protest.
Can yew cylinder be used for year-round screening? +
Yes. Yew is evergreen, so it keeps dense foliage through winter. While it’s often used as a feature plant, its height and density can offer very effective year-round screening too.
