One of the world’s most popular conifers, Taxus baccata 'Fastigiata' (Irish Yew) is a dense, upright, evergreen shrub of columnar habit when young, becoming more broadly conical as the plant ages. Its stiffly erect branches boast long, radially arranged, dark green needles. This female cultivar produces conspicuous, coral-red seed-bearing cones that contrast beautifully with the foliage. A moderate grower, 6-12 in. per year (15-30 cm), this Irish Yew is ideal for providing year-round structure. Forming a splendid exclamation point in the landscape, it makes a wonderful specimen plant. Perfect for foundations or hedges.

The Old Royal Naval College is the architectural centrepiece of Maritime Greenwich, a World Heritage Site in Greenwich, London, described by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) as being of "outstanding universal value" and reckoned to be the "finest and most dramatically sited architectural and landscape ensemble in the British Isles". Wikipedia Sir James Thornhill (1675-1734) spent 19 years planning and painting the magnificent Painted Hall and was well rewarded for his efforts. His epic painting draws on a cast of around 200 figures to tell an incredible story of political change, scientific and cultural achievements, naval endeavours and commercial enterprise all set against a series of magnificent backdrops. The characters he included are a mix of allegorical, mythological, historical and contemporary. The central narrative focuses on a pivotal moment when the United Kingdom was created and became a dominant power in Europe.
