Yew Bonsai - Medium
Yew (Taxus) is a staple for bonsai due to its flexibility, longevity, and resilience. Its fine, dark green needles and reddish bark provide striking contrast and texture. Yews are slow-growing, allowing for precise shaping, and they tolerate heavy pruning, which is perfect for bonsai styling. Their dense foliage and ability to back-bud (produce new growth from old wood) make them versatile for various bonsai designs, including formal and informal styles. Additionally, they adapt well to different conditions and are known for their hardiness.
