This one really helped me collecting yew
Hello, I jumped on the band wagon and went to that site, WOW, 4 hours went by before I looked up from reading. There is a lot of good info, and I like his direct approach, to thee point is always best in my book So thank you, and also im learning a new language, translation says dutch, so that's always a bonus, haha.
I got a large Landscape yew from a pile left from a contstruction job, I am currently working on it, to bring it to vigor, I would be great if it did. The roots were in clay basically, but its been a few weeks now, some yellowing and a few dead branches, but we shall see. any advice is welcome. I basically bare rooted it and now in 80% pumice, its sitting under a large yard tree with shade, I mist it , some fish emulsion, and watering, I didn't trim many roots, except the fatty's, and actually some 2-3 foot finer roots, I circled in the larger grow pot.
Im nervous about the trunk, 3-5 wide at base, but the cons. crew had peeled a good bit of bark, been wondering if I should cover or let it go, or Pet. jelly. cut paste, alum. foil tape, or some other idea, im open?
thanks to all and again for the site, good stuff/
