In 2006 I collected this Taxus from a hedge (along with 5 others, 2 shown here and here). I planted the tree in a free-draining mix and let it recover and grow for 3 years. I re-potted it into a smaller cut-down nursery pot in spring of 2009 and removed the clay soil with a mild water jet . (2 following pics in 2010)
In 2010 I cut off the left branches that would later become deadwood.
First styling of branches and initial carving of deadwood in 2012.
It had good growth in 2013 so i decided to perform a July re-pot. Picture taken 8-29-13
