We purchase and collect Yew hedge & tree clippings (Taxus baccata) from all parts of Mainland UK, from Bodmin to Inverness. We collect with our own transport, starting in July and continuing until the end of September. We purchase yew clippings from all types of properties, and have collected regularly over the last 15 years.
The clippings are used as the raw material for the production of anti-cancer drugs, primarily to treat breast and ovarian cancers.
We would be delighted to discuss purchasing your yew clippings. We prefer to collect over 200kg of clippings at any one collection. (As a general guide, the woven tote bags, of the type used for delivering sand and gravel hold approximately 100-200kg of clippings). We are happy to make collections of smaller amounts, when timed to coincide with other properties.
The yew clippings should be one year’s growth from regularly clipped hedges or trees. This is because the required chemical is concentrated in the green, actively-growing parts of the plant. It is also important that the yew clippings are kept fresh - the active ingredient starts to break down as the clippings deteriorate. We are able to collect all types of Taxus baccata, including Irish and golden forms.
If you would like to supply us with your clippings or require any further information, please contact us on :
