Yew is poisonous in all parts. Not a good choice on a field boundary.
Both of the above are rather slow growing.


Just to clarify - this is a garden, not a field, so I don't anticipate
anything eating it. The kids are bright enough not to eat random things


What's on the far side of the hedge? Do you own that land too?

A pavement. Not a great many sheep and the dogs are bright enough not to eat
yew ;-
