| The 10-acre garden of cypresses, yews and quickset hedges is called the Domaine des Colombia. |
|
| Although box and yews can be clipped into formal shapes, most shade plants appear at home in that naturalistic setting. |
|
| Spruce, larch and sycamore have already been felled from the site to favour oaks, yews and birches to leave the best spruce to grow on. |
|
| Conifers are evergreen trees and shrubs that include pines, spruces, firs, arborvitae, junipers, cedars and yews. |
|
| Some ancient yews have been cherished and loved, but many more are under threat, mainly by humans. |
|
| Junipers and yews are the most commonly planted of the narrow-leaved evergreens. |
|
| A simple circle of juvenile yews will eventually knit together to enclose a calming circle of pure green. |
|
| For background planting, especially if you have plenty of space, grow yews, hawthorn, holly, elder and Viburnum opulus, the Guelder rose. |
|
| Planted by yews and by charms, it offers a very beautiful perspective on the former city side windows, and on gardens side doors. |
|
| The slope was divided into four terraces with espalier fruit, pyramid-shaped yews and vines. |
|
| There are also pines, holm oaks, specimens of the Juniperus thurifera and yews, an endangered species. |
|
| Trees abound on the slopes below: hawthorns, beech, ash, hazel, yews and whitebeam, a rare relative of the rowan. |
|
| Upright fastigiate oaks, underplanted with yews, rise like Greek columns along the curving drive. |
|
| For example, the walled garden, which was laid out in 2000 by Tom Stuart-Smith, contains beech tunnels, topiary yews and pleached lime squares. |
|
| The house was large, set in 200 acres of virgin forest filled with magnificent beeches and yews, and roamed by many kinds of wildlife, including deer. |
|
| An impressive trio of cypresses at the fountain is succeeded by an elm, laburnums, copper beeches, Norway maples, yews and ash trees. |
|
| That is what provides the water for Dew Pond, for the moist air under the spreading yews and figs below it, and for the soil. |
|
| There, oaks and beeches are age-old, and some yews are said to be a thousand years old. |
|
| The biggest and oldest yews in this place exceed five metres in circumference. |
|
| Cast your eyes across the great lawn of Risley Halls, a vast sweep of perfectly manicured grass punctuated by spectacular golden yews. |
|
|
|
| Among its 70 species of trees two pines, two yews, an oak and a sequoia are worthy of note for their great age. |
|
| Formal garden, where you will not fail to admire the 8 yews trimmed and laid out in a vast star-shaped checkerboard. |
|
| The landscape is dominated by beech and holly, hawthorn, yews and other species that provide habitat for a wide variety of animal species. |
|
| The seeds have been preserved for study and will be used to help maintain genetic diversity in yews. |
|
| Within the grove the air is still and damp. Along the trailing ridge of the summit are fig trees, Cape yews and a garland of remarkably vigorous ginger. |
|
| Lawns and clipped yews slope down to a lake surrounded by rare trees, shrubs and a profusion of roses both old and modern with herbaceous plants scent the air. |
|
| And there were yews for topiaries and boxwood for the parterres and then what we are stupidly calling in France 'the Indian chestnut,' which is the horse chestnut, from Turkey. |
|
| Diversified geology results in a variety of habitats which support almost all tree species that occur in Poland: firs, beeches, two oak varieties, spruces, two lime varieties, yews and pines. |
|
| In addition to a complete range of roadside trees, park trees and yews we have also been producing a large collection of espalier and shaped trees trees for years. |
|
| Their alternative was to put shrubs like yews toward the street, where they could grow unclipped and provide privacy for an inner space crammed with surprises like fountains and fine ferns. |
|
| Examples include cedars, Douglas firs, cypresses, firs, junipers, kauri, larches, pines, hemlocks, redwoods, spruces, and yews. |
|
| A few cultivars with yellow leaves that are being propagated, collectively are known as golden yews, which is another nomenclature blunder. |
|
| The potential age of yews is impossible to determine accurately and is subject to much dispute. |
|
| Nor are the ficus trees, the Bermuda cedars, the pandanus, the Cape yews, and the remarkably vigorous ginger which cover the top of the mountain's northern slopes. |
|
| In 1423 the Polish king commanded protection of yews in order to cut exports, facing nearly complete destruction of local yew stock. |
|
| Kingley Vale, four miles northwest of Chichester, is the suggested site of the battle, and the grove of ancient yews there is supposed to be descended from 60 trees planted on the graves of those who died in the fighting. |
|
| Ten yews in Britain are believed to predate the 10th century. |
|
| It has also been suggested that yews were planted at religious sites as their long life was suggestive of eternity, or because being toxic they were seen as trees of death. |
|
| It was already an ancient tree at the time of Richard II's proclamation that ordered the general planting of yews to support the army and the use of yew in the Longbow. |
|
| Some specimens live longer but the age of yews is often overestimated. |
|
|
|
| In the wild, deer browsing of yews is often so extensive that wild yew trees are commonly restricted to cliffs and other steep slopes inaccessible to deer. |
|
| The church is surrounded by a grove of Yews, some of which are equal in size and age to those of Overton listed in the Seven Wonders of Wales. |
|
| Yews are widely used in landscaping and ornamental horticulture. |
