The 1.2m Yew Dome is a classic piece of evergreen topiary, valued for its rounded form and unflappable reliability. Neat without being severe, it brings structure and calm to planting schemes that favour order over ornament.
Yew is slow-growing and responds exceptionally well to careful shaping. This dome arrives with instant form, then gradually thickens over time, becoming denser and more refined with each trim. It’s dependable, long-lived, and perfectly unperturbed in every season.

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 dome topiary prefers well-drained soil and is remarkably tolerant of both sun and shade. Water regularly during establishment to support even root growth, then trim lightly once or twice a year to maintain the smooth curve. Yew’s slow, controlled growth means refinement rather than constant correction — very civilised.
Common Uses
This size dome is wonderfully versatile. Use it along paths, near entrances, or in repetition to bring rhythm and cohesion to structured planting schemes. It also works superbly as a standalone feature where a softer form is preferred.
Did you know?
Yew can regenerate from old wood, which is why it has been trusted in formal gardens for centuries; it forgives mistakes and rewards patience.
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.
Is a 1.2m yew dome suitable for smaller gardens? +
Yes. A 1.2m yew dome brings structure without dominating its surroundings, making it ideal for borders, entrances and terraces where balance and proportion matter.
Is yew dome slow growing? +
Yes. Yew grows slowly, which helps the dome keep its proportions. With regular trimming it thickens and becomes more defined, without suddenly deciding it needs twice the space.
Can yew domes be mixed with other topiary shapes? +
Absolutely. Domes pair beautifully with cubes, cones and pyramids, adding contrast while keeping a coherent, formal feel, like a well-curated guest list.
How should I water newly planted yew topiary? +
Water deeply after planting and keep the soil evenly moist during establishment (not waterlogged). Once established, yew is tolerant, but it still appreciates a drink during prolonged dry spells.
