Taxus baccata

First #newaddition of #2023 and first for the new home. Not as big as my last one, but I can watch it grow.

That looks like a very healthy specimen 💚

@jacaranda 🤞I can keep it like that Barbara.

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co ..... I bet this will be the first of many Dave .....

@johninbrighton possibly john 😁

#foliagefriday love the #newgrowth on this 🤗

Do you shape it Dave 🌲

@wagsmomthompsonbtinternetcom i just keep it as a cone elaine. Ive thought about having a spiral, but darnt do it. It was £250 so a bit scared of ruining it 🥴

Bleeding Nora...I wouldn’t either 😲

@linfoster you wouldnt have paid £250.00 for it then lin 😂 everybodys different 😊 i love it.

#newgrowth

#evergreen just about 12 months since this went in.

My yew has had its first very carefull haircut #green #yew

Looks Fabulous Dave @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co 💚

At last my yew is starting to look happy , lots of new growth now.

My yew cone is now covered in new growth, so it looks like ive managed to keep hold of the most expensive plant ive bought to date . Thank god.

@davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co Looking good 😊👍🏼Are Yews expensive then? @scaryskates naughty lolz 😂 😊🙏🏼👍🏼

@pixierose it was £240.00 christine, that was the cheapest by over £100.00 😟

Oh I love a bargain 😂😂😂😉

Fantastic 👍👍👍

@icedance hi sam, ive got lots of these little buds coming on my yew now, is this looking hopeful ?

Hi Dave my apologies just back from the internet black hole that is mid Wales 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿 hopefully you’ve got good leaf buds coming as well as flower buds ? It looks nice and green 💚

Thanks sam, its got a few brown patches, but not to bad. Just dont want it to get any worse. I keep comparing it with the one in the show carden at work. @icedance

Still the most watched yew then 🙂 we’re there drainage holes in the pot? Apologies if I asked this before ..

Ive cut the pot away sam, so there shouldnt be a problem with drainage. Hopefully. @icedance

That’s great ! I’m sure it will be okay now, just needs a bit of time to spread it’s finer feeding roots and it will be off and away for sure

Any #advice on my yew cone , its starting to get slight brown tinges on the foliage. Ive just sprayed it with a liquid seaweed which they advise . @pauline33 @icedance

fast changing temps., wet feet, or salt injury. carefully prun out brown to next bud. @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

Thanks terry. Im keeping a close eye on it. I left it in the pot when planting it, as we may be moving in a year or two, would this effect it @moore.794

possibly. may need to up a size if getting root bound @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co

@moore.794 ive just been reading about salt damage terry. We are located right on a roundabout which is gritted when icy so could well be the problem . May need to find a new place for it 🤔

Hi Dave I agree with Terry could be any of the above 😉mine don’t mind the wet at all but the temperatures certainly burn the tips personally I don’t worry about that but I resist any pruning till June or at least the end of May for frost damage 🙄 definitely a good time of year to check on the roots though may have been in the same pot for a long time tease out the roots n pot up a size bigger 😉

Hi dave sorry for late response was at work today, in fact tried to take a pic for you of one of our yews which is now a stunning shade of brown ! They are prone to do this when stressed you’ll often see this if on heavy clay and get too wet, the one at work is large and has been with us too long, it is in too small a pot now and can’t take up nutrients or water well enough, hoping some one takes pity and rescues it soon ⬇️

I do think yours being in a pot in the ground might be to blame .. bit like locking a child in a sweet shop and saying do not eat any sweets 😂 it’s possibly hit the sides and is starting to stress ? I’d do as Pauline says and get into something bigger with a nice dose of John innes no 3, I wish it well 🙂

@icedance thanks for getting back to me sam. I was hoping it would be ok in the pot it was in. It took three of us to lift it . Ill have to find a bigger pot and sign up to the gym again 💪

It’s a lovely looking specimen Dave .... I can imagine it’s on the heavy side ! maybe the local rugby team could help out ? 💪😂 good luck 🙂👍

#greensaturday

All done. Just need some lights for Xmas now 🤗

Looks great Dave @davewrightjoinerygooglemail.co . Are you keeping it in the pot to move it later?

@ronanquinn1 yes ronan, were not staying here to much longer so the options there if we want to take it with us.

That's fabulous will look great with lights on it 🌲🌲🌲

Fabulous! Such great shape 😍
