Japanese Yew Bonsai Tree
(taxus baccata)

There are over 100 cultivars of the European Yew, this cultivar grows slowly in a columnar fashion. The seeds are borne in a fleshy red fruit and although they will, if fertile, germinate, they are best propagated by cuttings. Yews are one of the few conifers that will readily produce buds on old wood which is a great advantage if you want to restyle a tree.
