Taxus baccata
Yews are widely used in landscaping and ornamental horticulture. Over 400 cultivars of yews have been named, the vast majority of these being derived from European yew ("Taxus baccata") or Japanese yew ("Taxus cuspidata"). The hybrid between these two species is "Taxus" × "media". A popular fastigiate selection of the European yew ("Taxus baccata" 'Fastigiata') is often called the Irish yew, illustrating the difficulties with common names. A few cultivars with yellow leaves are collectively known as golden yews.
