yew hedge

Dense garden partition

A yew hedge is a dense, formal boundary planting made from yew trees, prized in landscaping for its dark evergreen foliage and tolerance of close trimming.

Yew hedges are a signature feature of traditional English gardens, often shaped into walls, archways, or topiary: The yew hedge had been there for two hundred years.
