Yew is excellent but can look a little funereal and dull. There are yellow
versions which can liven things up.


I was told by a garden centre that the yellow version does not grow
very tall though.

The theory is that the yellow will be less vigorous since it will not be
photosynthesising as effectively.

In practice, my yellow yew is not obviously much less vigorous than my
green one.
