When we were walking around the path through the arboretum we noticed these 2-tone yew trees and how distinctive they looked. When we got to the garden I chatted to the gardener doing the trimming where I was informed that this wasn’t a deliberate part of the trimming, but this was as high as he could reach with the hedge trimmer before he needed to use the ladder!
