Dear Mary
I have just had a look at Hillier's Manual of Trees and Shrubs which lists a large
number of varieties of yew.
Possibly one of the x media hybrids is suitable:-
Brownii- dense compact male form with sharply ascending branches.
Hatfieldii-similar to the above
Nidiformis- dense, broad open-centred male form with obtusely ascending branches
There are several others all described, like the above as excellent for hedging, so
presumably they will adapt well to shaping.
