Taxus Baccata Fastigiata

Description

This well-known evergreen tree bears masses of attractive red berries in summer. (Edible fruit but poisonous seed!) Seeds collected from the compact, columnar, fastigiate form of the longest growing of all of our native trees (even oak!) and plants may vary in stature.

Sowing Advice

Seeds have already been thoroughly cleaned and cold-stored for several months. Sow into well-drained, sandy compost at any time of year, cover to their own depth with sand or grit. No artificial heat is needed; seed tray is best left in a cool protected spot and kept moist. Seeds usually germinate in spring, regardless of when sown.
