About Yews As Shrubs, Pests and Diseases, and Bonsai Trees
More yew articles coming soon! I have 1 brief article where I previously shared a styling I did with some nursery stock yew material. Yews are shade tolerant, flexible, backbud relatively well for a conifer, and their deadwood is extremely durable. I have not observed much disease on them at all but occasionally they may get low levels of scale insects which are easily removed by hand. Ryan's Yew Bonsai for Sale

| Yews dug by plumbers in 2023. In this picture the far left and far right survived. |
The following pictures are from fall 2023. The trees are all pushing new growth now in 2024 and can be pruned back to promote backbudding. I will do so myself if I still have them! Ask for updated pictures if interested.

Update Fall 2024
Now over 1 year from digging, the tree backbudded abundantly allowing me to prune back the overly long foliage by about a foot. I also cleaned the bark off the deadwood and broke up the flat chops. Next year I will allow it to backbud again to possibly further refine branch selection and potentially start pulling branches/wiring.
Big Yew #3
 |
| Yew 3. Dug June 2023, pictured in fall of 2023, and has survived and is now growing vigorously. Asking $130 OBO. It has excellent trunk, deadwood, and backbudding but much more of the vigorous growth is at the extremities. It will need more time to recover to induce backbudding or possibly some grafting. It has some smaller interior shoots currently, but they need time to thicken and become more useful. I would give this one an additional year before trying any styling. |
