    Hi All,

    Does anyone know what type of tree this is? It started to grow in my garden four years ago, it's very slow to develop and it is approx 2ft high now. I'm trying to find out if it is a spruce, fir or pine tree.

    Many thanks!

    Looks like a Yew tree

    They make for fantastic hedgerows,but will take many years to make a good hedgerow.

    and bear in mind they are poisionous. watch children and the berries which are soft and sweet to the taste, but scrape the hard seed inside the berry with the teeth and you are a gonner.

    thus the planting of them in churchyards to keep the horses out in days gone by.

    Thanks for your replies!

    I never thought of a yew! I haven't seen any berries on it to date but it has grown faster than ever the past few months, so maybe later in the year.

    Thanks again
