Taxus baccata ‘David’ is an evergreen shrub valued for its upright form and warm foliage colour. New growth emerges in bright golden-yellow tones, creating clear contrast against the deeper green of older needles and giving the plant strong visual impact, particularly in spring and early summer. Naturally narrow and slow growing, this variety is well suited to tight spaces, vertical accents, or structured planting where height is required without width. Highly tolerant of pruning, shade, and varied soil conditions, ‘David’ combines long-term reliability with refined colour, making it a practical and attractive choice for both formal and informal garden designs.
