Yew Topiary Cubes are expertly crafted topiaries shaped into precise cube or box like forms, adding a touch of elegance and structure to any garden. Using the finest varieties of Yew, including English Yew, Irish Yew, and Golden Yew, these topiaries bring a sense of formality and sophistication to your landscape. The cube shapes provide a clean, architectural element that seamlessly blends into garden settings.
Yew trees are ideal for creating topiary cubes due to their dense foliage, robust growth, and ease of maintenance. They are well-suited to regular pruning and shaping, which is essential for maintaining the precise cube form. Yews are highly adaptable to various soil types and climates, making them perfect for the UK’s weather conditions. Their evergreen nature ensures year-round greenery, enhancing both traditional and contemporary garden designs.
Yew plant varieties provide dense foliage, giving a lush, full appearance throughout the year. The cube shape adds a unique and eye-catching architectural element, making them perfect for focal points, garden borders, and pathways. Yew trees are low maintenance and resilient, requiring only occasional pruning to keep their shape. Additionally, they provide excellent windbreaks and privacy screens due to their dense growth.
Creating a Yew topiary cube takes time and expertise. Typically, it takes about 3 to 5 years to train a Yew tree into a well-defined cube shape. This process involves careful pruning and guiding the branches to follow the desired form. Once trained, maintaining the cube shape involves regular pruning, usually twice a year, to keep the form crisp and neat.
After purchasing a Yew topiary cube, it’s important to provide proper care to ensure its longevity and beauty. Place the tree in a well-drained area with full sun to partial shade. Water it regularly, especially during the first year, to help establish its roots. Feed the tree with a balanced fertiliser in the spring to promote healthy growth. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases, and prune as needed to maintain the cube shape.
English Yew is known for its dark green, dense foliage, which makes it ideal for the classic topiary look. Its moderate growth rate and adaptability make it a favourite in elegant garden designs. Irish Yew (Taxus baccata ‘Fastigiata’) has a naturally more upright, columnar growth and greyish bark, forming narrow and refined cubes. Its slower growth rate results in a more compact and intricate topiary, perfect for adding height and structure. The Golden Yew (Taxus baccata ‘Aurea’) features bright golden-yellow foliage, providing a striking colour contrast. Its vibrant appearance and moderate growth speed make it excellent for creating eye-catching cube topiaries.
