It is for a formal hedge.

I did consider Yew but I understand that it's poisonous and therefore
probably not suitable for my 8month old daugheter when she eventually gets
up on her feet and roaming around the garden. Is this the case?


Many of us with gardens that contain ponds, monks hood, laburnum, yew
and a host of other deadly objects, manage to bring up children quite
successfully. You are better of giving your child rusks to chew on and
teaching it not to eat stuff willy nilly, than trying to keep your
garden free of things that may be harmful.
One day she will fly your nest and if she doesn't know the difference
between what is good for her and what isn't, she is going to come a
cropper Do you intend to prevent her from ever going out into the
big, bad, wild, world?
