English Yew Bonsai Material

English Yew Bonsai Material

Taxus baccatta is probably Britain's finest evergreen species used for bonsai cultivation. Very tough, cold hardy and drought tolerant. 
Taxus appreciates well drained soil and copious watering in summer along with regular fertilizing. When dormant taxus should be kept dry.
Only re-pot when absolutely necessary and never until the buds begin to unfurl in spring, typically late April or into May. Pinching spring growth quickly encourages dense foliage and fine twigging to form.

A very promising yew from nursery material planted out in 1997. Graham has done basic styling work during autumn 2024.  The tree has previously been bare rooted and has a nice flat root system and a pot full of vibrant feeder roots. It's been in full sun all summer hence the slightly pale appearance of the most recent growth.

Ready for it's next styling over next winter.

24" tall above it's pot. 23" wide overall. 7" diameter nebari.

Planted in a plastic nursery pot.
