I've really been looking around for information on this plant. This video was the best thing I have found in hours of searching.
+Adam N Thanks for watching
I bought a couple quart size Hicks Yews at Walmart's end of season clearance last fall. They sat in their pots all winter in the great room, got watered if/when I remembered to do that, and look just as good 9 months later, so I figure they're worth the time and effort to plant outdoors. The Walmart horticulturist loves Yews for the Colorado foothills, because they are so hardy, but they may need a fertilizer application to get them to wake up in Spring.
As always Jim’s information and presentation are excellent. Extremely helpful videos.
Seawater tolerant - Replaced all my hurricane flooded dead shrubs ,(ilex & camellias I loved ), with hicks yews. From hicks nursery ( where hicks developed them for that purpose) . They’re easy Maintenance & doing great in every location.
Thanks very helpful We are considering as the replacement for the security hedges in our coop in Downtown Detroit
Both today 3 of them. Very good video. Thanks
Thank you, sir. May God bless you. I’m thankful I found your channel
Great video. I think you just convinced me that this is the plant I want in front of my house!
❤Thank you! Useful & clear explanations. I have full clay. so It will have to be amended😊
Great info! I was just about to consider a few of these for privacy....and then....the deer. Sigh. I appreciate that you just saved me some $$$.
Thanks for watching
Try Norway spruce
Great video buddy. Subscribed. Planting some kicks yews this weekend!
Forgot to ask. What do "yew" recommend for spacing? In zone 3-4 and the area is 70% shade each day.
Thank you for info on yew. I thought mine was scraggly.
My Hick's Yews will not grow. I planted 2 of them about 3.5 years ago; they are still there but they only grow about 6 inches per year & they are like one stalk wide. They look pathetic and sickly. I don't know what to do. I fertilize them twice a year with granules. I hate the idea of ripping them out and starting over again. I bought them from Home Depot.
good information
I have been wondering if I could plant a bush or two infront of the house as a screen against stronger winds these days, and as a nice border. I wasn't sure if I could plant them on my own as I would need to dig deep enough, but after Jim's video, I know I need to buy some shrub fertilizer and soil to ensure it is long-lasting. Thank you
Ye go get this to a million Yews
Great Video, thank you.
+Craig Hill Thank you
Thank you.
+psychicbud Thanks for watching
I would love to see how to properly prune yews. I hate the way my gardeners shape & cut with electric trimmers. It doesn’t look natural.
I’m in middle TN had one burn up on me with green ends! This drought hurt us this year.
Thanks
Liked your video . I heard these are poisonous to people and dogs. Is this true?
Great video. Mine are ~ 6 years old. Any ideas on how to thicken them without cutting the Leaders? I’d like them to keep getting taller still.
I planted some 10 years ago as a hedge. Each year I've shaped it so they're now very dense & about 5 feet tall. What rear neighbors? Ha ha. Nowhere to grow but up.
They definitely make great screening plants
hello! we have 2 especially odd sized beds at the front of our Northeast facing home that need an evergreen foundation plant to fill each of them... it is currently bare now... these hick's yews seem like something that maybe 2 planted together in each bed would do the trick... (we would allow them to grow together but trim to keep them shaped as one large blob and also size controlled to the size we need). is that right??? we are SO confused with all the different types of yews available... ideally, we need something (or a few somethings that will grow together) to take up a 8 foot long by 4 foot wide by 8-9 foot height.... hoping you can advise before we mess up! also- we are located in the suburbs right outside Boston, massachusetts zone 6. thanks so much for all you do! we LOVE your channel!
Thanks for the video. How long can they stay out of the pot? My neighbor cut his down and took them out of the ground yesterday and I don’t know if I should plant them in a pot or in the ground. It’s around 45° out here going to stay cool for a week or two.
Informative video, I have a question, If I want to grow yew from seed, being a conifer it would be best with cold stratification?
Will this grow in Northern Colorado in a dry climate partial shade .
Just planted some yews couple had some dead on the tips should I clip them or leave alone?
good video thank you, I was wondering if I replaced my old cedar hedge with a hick's yew hedge would it grow all right considering how acidic the ground becomes underneath cedar.
+Jennifer Richards It's an acid loving plant. I doubt it would be a problem.
HortTube with Jim Putnam. Hello my name is Anne a friend of mine brought over 8 of these trees all most taller than 5 ft. We both planted them about 14 or so inches in the ground. Were they are there is no shade. Too be honest I have no idea what I am doing. I water them most everyday around 3 pm. Lately its been raining so I leave them alone. How do i help them to grow and be healthy?
HortTube with Jim Putnam Also I live in Florida.
Hi Jim! Is the absence of new/light roots in container conifers necessarily a sign that the plant is dead? And is there a way to stimulate the growth of new roots in the fall?
Hi Jim, love your channel. I have a shady, north facing part of my foundation that i need to fill with some evergreen height. I just put in a row of 4 emerald arborvitae but now I'm realizing that this spot may not get enough sun for them. Yews were originally in this spot when we bought our house but my parents had them removed bc they were overgrown and too close to the foundation at the time. I know that these are slow growing, but what more mature feet sizes of these tend to be available if i want more instant height? I'm thinking between 4-5ft or 5-6ft, and am in Northeast TN.
Thank Yew hahaha
Can this plant plantation in tropical semi evergreen forest? Or subtropical pine ,tropical moist deciduous forest???
How much height do you gain each year? I know you said slow grow so I am worried that it will take many many years to get the height I want. (Tree is 36 inches and I'm looking for 6 ft as a min goal.)
Great video! Where can I find these plants in the tri-state area?
Is their yew poisonous to touch
+judy dennis No, I handle them all the time. Just don't eat them
How long does it take to get this to, say, 6 ft tall in the Denver area if I start out with a 3 gallon one from my local store?
Hi, I am planning plant 2-3 feet height Hicks Yew hedges into a planter. How should be the height of the planter to keep hedges alive as long as possible.
Thanks in advance!
Do they just naturally grow tall?
Wanted to know how to trim it as it grows. I had some deer graze on my yews and they are growing back but need shaping. Otherwise, very helpful video.
I would probably wait until late winter to do any major pruning at this point. Some minor shaping would be ok.
I'm in Eastern North Carolina, Zone 8a. Would you recommend this for me?
Anyone have a link to how best propagate hicks yew?
Can these be transplanted to another area? Ours is about 11 years old.
Is Yew Taus x media / yew densiformis poisonous to wildlife and pets
Where can I find them in northern NJ?
What size container would you plant a hicks yew in?
Are they just as toxic a common Yew or are they save.
My plants are turning brown how can I stop this
How fast do they grow?
how deep and wide does the root grow. I need a screening bush that boarders a sewer easement, in full sun. low maintain is a must thanks
I have never dug one of these out so I don't know. I wouldn't won't to guess at something like that.
I had 4 very mature hews in a line placed 2 feet apart. The were 4 feet in diameter. One of the middle shrubs died quickly. What might have gone wrong. These shrubs are 18 years old.
Without knowing where you are and conditions, it's pretty tough to answer that... But in my experience, root rot is often the cause of something like that. I've lost Rhodie and boxwood that way and the one right next to it was fine.
The tips of my yew bush/ hedge r dead looking, but has a lot of new growth coming on this year, I planted two of them last spring, but I lost one, I’m watering it good, and have fertilised it with miracle grow, liquid, but I had also putsome ozmacoat in the soil in the beginning , it’s in well drained soil, but full morning sun, so if it’s got this new growth on it, do u think it’s going to b ok? Maybe the dead tips will.....
I don't know where in the country you live, but if get rainfall they probably don't need this much attention. I never use quick release fertilizers on my shrubs. It could burn them.
Do some leaves turn yellow before pushing new growth in the spring like hollies? reason I ask is I have two planted very close to a very large maple and I cant tell whether its problems with maple tree or if they are just doing their normal yellowing before new growth. I do see some light green type bud new growth happening too. They have been there for almost 1 year. I planted them in like june of last year I think.
Most evergreens do some shedding in the spring as the new growth appears. If it is excessive something else is going on. Could be all the rain we have had. Probably won't know if it's a problem until mid may really. Good luck with them.
HortTube with Jim Putnam thanks man! Always a pleasure!
Is this yew toxic? Are all yews toxic? How toxic?
Can this be maintained at a 4 feet height or will it get bigger?
Yes
I still look here first for information because I know I'm getting the real goods! Unfortunately now I know that I really should move that yew that I planted at the bottom of the yard... In full shade.. 😕. That's what happens when you listen to sales people.
they are pretty but highly toxic
