Taxus baccata is one of the most consistent and durable evergreen products in the professional nursery assortment. While many species are influenced by trends and changing demand, yew remains a reliable cornerstone for growers focusing on quality, longevity and stable sales. The species combines technical reliability with long-term economic value. For Kwekerij Peter Verhoeven, Taxus baccata is therefore not a secondary crop, but a strategic foundation within the assortment, aimed at continuity throughout the supply chain.

Cultivation advantages
In production, Taxus baccata is known for its calm, even growth and exceptional tolerance to pruning. The plant responds strongly to cutting back and easily develops a dense, compact structure. This makes yew suitable for hedges, specimen plants and high-quality topiary.

For growers, this offers important advantages in planning and grading. Crops can be held or shifted without loss of quality, providing flexibility within multi-year production cycles and reducing commercial risk. Taxus is also relatively tolerant of varying weather conditions and soil types, provided drainage is adequate.

Its strong, finely branched root system ensures reliable regrowth after transplanting, even in larger sizes. Plant losses remain limited, allowing consistent supply of project-grade material. The combination of long cultivation time, technical reliability and value retention makes taxus a stable pillar within a professional nursery range.

Applications
Taxus baccata is widely used in private gardens, public green spaces and representative landscape projects. It is highly suitable for formal hedges, structured planting and refined topiary. Thanks to its evergreen character, the plant maintains its function and visual presence throughout the year.

For landscapers and green managers, taxus is valued for its predictability in maintenance. It tolerates repeated pruning extremely well and retains its shape, ensuring a long-lasting and manageable result in both small-scale and large-scale projects.

Consumer value
For end users, Taxus baccata stands for reliability and durability. A well-established yew hedge or topiary can last for decades and is often regarded as a long-term investment rather than a temporary solution.

Maintenance requirements are limited: in most cases, one or two pruning sessions per year are sufficient. This makes taxus attractive to consumers seeking structure, tranquillity and enduring quality in the garden without intensive care.

Export opportunities
Taxus baccata has a stable international market, with sustained demand in countries such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom and Scandinavia. Due to the relatively high value per plant, exporting larger sizes and special forms is particularly interesting for growers focusing on added value.

Uniform quality, durability and predictable growth make taxus well suited for longer logistical routes and project-based deliveries.

Why choose Taxus baccata?
Taxus baccata offers certainty throughout the chain: technically reliable in cultivation, widely applicable in design and stable in market demand. For Kwekerij Peter Verhoeven, it represents a solid and future-proof foundation within a professional nursery assortment.
