How To Plant English Yew
English Yews can tolerate many soil types, but prefer to be planted in well-draining soils. They love full sun to partial shaded conditions. Yews are generally low maintenance and easy to care for.
How To Water
Yew aren't big water drinkers! When it comes to drought conditions, watering this fella weekly is recommended!
How To Fertilize
Young English Yew plants should be fed each spring, while more mature plants will do well with feeding every other year. We recommend using our very own Elements Starter Plant Food in granular form.
How To Prune
When it comes to pruning yews, for normal upkeep pruning can take place if you like to keep it in a certain shape. A heavy pruning should happen before August 15th, so the branches have time to harden off before the first frost comes.
