Hi all, upon checking the stock in the reduced section at my local garden centre I came across these two Taxus Baccata. £5 each so worth giving one a go (would buy both but the girlfriend won’t get away too much frivolity just yet). So the question is, assuming they are still there tomorrow, which would you choose from the two? Right is 2ft tall ish, left is lower by about that much. Left looks to be healthier with more fresh growth. Both are around 1 1/2 to 2 inches where they enter the soil and have a dense mass of straight growth. Left nebari is 3 or 4 inches below soil level so no real idea of any root flare yet. Right nebari is on or near the surface with some shape to it and two fairly prominent surface roots
I know neither are knockouts, but as one of only three native coniferous species, I’d like to learn on one before I go raiding local churchyards for their prized bow stock. Thanks guys.
