{"product_id":"taxus-baccata-stricta","title":"Irish Yew","description":"\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe Irish Yew is a classic and stately evergreen conifer, prized for its dramatic, narrow, columnar form that brings essential vertical structure and a sense of formality to the landscape. Its dense, upright branches are densely covered with dark green, needle-like leaves, creating a solid, somber-green pillar. This slow-growing, exceptionally long-lived tree is highly versatile, tolerating deep shade and heavy pruning, making it ideal for formal hedges, architectural accents, or as a striking sentinel in woodland gardens.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"ds-markdown-paragraph\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStrictly Upright, Columnar Architecture:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Grows in a remarkably narrow, fastigiate (erect branching) form, naturally forming a dense, dark green column without shearing, providing unmatched vertical accent.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eExceptionally Shade Tolerant:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e One of the few conifers that thrives in full sun to full, deep shade, making it invaluable for lighting up dark corners and north-facing aspects.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSuperior for Formal Hedges and Topiary:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Responds excellently to pruning and shearing, and can be maintained at a desired height and width for decades, creating superb, dense formal screens or living sculptures.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan\u003eLong-Lived and Low-Maintenance:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Extremely hardy, slow-growing, and long-lived (centuries-old specimens exist).
