Pruning Specimen Topiary Yew Trees. Seasonal Shaping Up “Trim & Proper” Garden Feature Show Stopper
Hey Welcome back! I Hope your well!!
In this Video, I bring you another instalment of Topiary Trimming and shaping.
I work on another 2 Specimen English yew cloud topiary’s. These trees are very special to me. I’m neither the owner or the creator just the maintainer!
They were created by my late dear friend Geoff around 30 years ago. These were his pride and joy of the garden. Iv Pruned them this year to honour him.
Some would see this as hard work even hassel (especially with shears) no skool like the old skool ;) But to me this job brings great joy and a massive reward stepping back at the end!
To keep Geoffs work alive also priceless….
Iv have filmed these before but this time might be my last trim! Iv also since got a better camera and more experimental with editing. This serves as much a memory log for me as entertainment for you. I thought I was worth a share.
I hope you Enjoy this short film 🌱

    I know this may seem like a slightly dumb question but could you explain in a little more detail the ratio of the wet cement you use versus the interior mould, and the timeline of drying/waiting to carve out the middle? I am wanting to attempt this! Great work

    That's going to make a cracking twin trunk yew. I've never tried Yew for air layering. Can you remember when you started the layer, what month, I'm also in the UK. You answered my question at the end of the video, thanks, great result. I shall have a go next spring.

    • @nillysbonsai9636
      @nillysbonsai9636 2 місяці тому

      Thank Murphy, I actually moved this tree on regrettably as I lost some space. But the process of air layering was a success. I’d say yew of this thickness (couple of inches an inch say) you can expect roots in the first 3-4 months. If you started really early march/ April you may just get it off the parent in the first season. Potted on in moss or a really well drained soil and a sheltered spot. Hope this helps
