| I am looking to grow hedges that most closely resemble the English Yew (unless, of course, the English Yew is perfectly adapted to growing in NC . . . in that case, where can I get them?). Looking for something that is good for clipping, shaping and creating outdoor garden rooms (like the kind seen in the UK)
Any advice? Thanks! |

| I've seen a yew advertised as good for NC at New Garden Nursery in Greensboro - needs shade here I think. I can't visualize how well it would handle clipping. Try their website and then google for info on the variety. - Becky |

| compacta holly will do well and some of the other larger hollys. |

| maybe podocarpus macrophylla (if hardy to your area). they can be grown in my area, upper end of zone 8. saw some this weekend in eufaula, al that made a nice, tall hedge. i love the texture of the foliage. |
Here is a link that might be useful: podocarpus
