- Yew Trees are an elegant tree for hedging containers or stand-alone specimens. Their relatively slow growth and slender silhouette make them perfectly suited for small space gardens. They can also thrive in lower light conditions where other evergreens might fail. Yew Trees have been a classic staple for hundreds of years of fine English and French historical gardens and parks.
Best Planting Practices for Yew Trees
• Part shade is best but can handle full sun to full shade.
• Well drained soil is essential.
• Will start to yellow or brown if planted in wet or saturated soil.
• Can be pruned hard into old wood, will re sprout from the base.
• Best pruning times are early spring and late winter.
• If creating hedge, have slightly thinner top and slightly wider shape to help with snow load.
• Can handle a wide variety of PH from slightly acidic to slightly alkaline.
• Very important to keep your new yew tree well watered for first summer, once established it can handle some dry periods.
• Must have well drained soil.
• Can fertilize with slow release evergreen food in the early and mid spring.
Frequently Asked Questions About Yew Trees
1. When To Plant A Yew Tree?
Best planting times for Yew Trees on the West Coast are Spring and Fall.
2. How To Identify A Yew Tree?
Dark green, short blunt tipped needles in single rows, held flat on either side of the stem.
3. How To Prune A Yew Tree?
If pruning for hedge, the best time is early spring and prune thinner on the top and wider on the bottom so heavy snow is shed from plants and do not peel a part.
4. Why Is My Yew Tree Turning Brown or Yellow?
Yew Trees are extremely sensitive to poor drainage. Check your drainage and ensure your Yew Tree is not standing or sitting in water at any time of the year. Another reason for discoloration could be sidewalk salt interfering with the PH levels of your soil.
5. Are Yew Tree Berries Poisonous?
Yes, if ingested, all parts of the yew trees are poisonous and the seeds in the berries are toxic as well.
Probably the only source that I've seen that vaguely goes over the species... Honestly had no idea there were similar varieties that differ so much. Thank you for this. I think I know now why my 7 year old hedge doesn't actually look like a hedge😔
Very informative video! Thanks for keeping the intro short and getting straight into the plants!!
Great Horticultural overview of the Taxaceae family!
Good summation of varieties. As someone with an old hedge full of Melfords I believe you should add the fact that they grow in a VASE shape. I wish I had known that at the time I chose them but it’s nowhere in the descriptions even now. They gap at the bottom and are much much much wider at the top. Large holes develop in the shrub. The blue green upright growth is lovely but not an ideal hedge plant if the customer is expecting a solid hedge that is easily sheered.
I have 55 varieties of yew trees in my tree collection.
This was so helpful!! Thank you
Thanks!
I planted one but hasn’t grown much. Maybe planted 10 months ago. Didnt water daily. Any tips to make these grow? It is mulched facing east zone 9b
frickin sweet trees
It seems like you talked about the same plant twice? Maybe I'm confused at the 2 minute mark of the video. You introduced a plant called taxus media hicksii and then it seems like you introduced the very same plant at 4 minutes and 30 seconds in the video. Am i confused?
Same plant name at 1:58 and then 4:28
Which one is the Hick's Yew?
No info on how tall they get!
A lot of good information of the various trees but was very difficult to hear. Very poor sound quality. And I did not notice any menttion of cold hardy zones .
Hello and thanks for the video. I've read many times that Taxus (x) media (especially the variety 'Hillii') was a faster grower than Taxus baccata. Woud you say it's true ?
Some yews never bow.
Thay growing in pots from beginning? Or first In ground and next potted up
can't hear you.
Will these survive a freeze? I’m located in Austin and would love to have these as a privacy tree
Any tips on how to make it grow with the shape of a spruce?
Quick question, Are all Yew toxic or is it just the common Yew tree?
All of them are considered toxic, but there is a lot of debate over it. Some say English Yew/Common Yew are the most toxic and Pacific yews are much less toxic.... I don't know because I don't want to find out by poisoning myself lol. I work with yew wood nearly every day and have no ill effects after 5 years.
Is the peeling bark, flexible branches, two-sided leaf, and red aril sufficient to be sure it's a yew?
Yep.
Too bad there weren't more close ups. Hard to see the differences otherwise
Where can I buy Japanese Yew - Taxus cuspidata?
Are any of these varieties of Yew, Deer Resistant?
Far too much background noise to hear anything.
Can I plant drawl birch shrubs in front of Jews? Or red twig dogwood?
Do you ship?
