3. How do you grow yew?

1. Soil: Fertile acidic sandy soil is best

Yew likes to grow in loose, fertile, slightly acidic soil rich in humus, so when choosing a site, try to choose fertile acidic sandy soil. Of course, you can also mix peat soil, sandy soil, garden soil, etc. together and apply a small amount of decomposed organic fertilizer before planting.

2. Fertilizer: Apply fertilizer in moderation

Yew has low fertilizer requirements. Generally, apply a small amount of base fertilizer in September to October, and apply an appropriate amount of compound fertilizer in early spring. Generally, applying 0.2 jin of organic fertilizer and 0.02 jin of compound fertilizer per plant is suitable.

3. Light: Provide appropriate shade

Yew likes shade, so in summer, it should be shaded appropriately to avoid direct sun exposure, which can cause leaf dehydration. Generally, it can be moved indoors during the day and to the windowsill at night. In spring, autumn and winter, giving it a little light is enough.

4. Water: Water in moderation

Yew has low water requirements. Generally, it needs more water during the growing season and less during dormancy, so when watering, you can determine the amount according to how upright the leaves are. Usually, water once every 5 to 7 days in spring, once every 3 to 5 days in summer, once every 5 to 7 days in autumn, and once every 7 to 10 days in winter with thorough watering.

5. Temperature: 20 to 25 degrees is best

Yew likes shade and tolerates cold, and generally grows best in a 20 to 25 degree environment. In winter, it can withstand cold even at minus 30 degrees, so no excessive warming measures are needed. But in summer when temperatures are high, it should be properly shaded to avoid too strong light, which can cause the plant to dehydrate.

6. Pests and diseases: Use Bordeaux mixture or thiophanate-methyl solution for control

During the growth period, yew may develop diseases such as root rot and leaf blight, so preventive measures should be taken in advance. For root rot, dexon can be used for control; for leaf blight, Bordeaux mixture can be used for control. For insect pests, thiophanate-methyl solution can be used for control.

Overall, the price of yew seedlings is related to the market and specifications, so when buying, try to ask at the local market. In addition, if you want yew to have lush branches and leaves and bear more fruit, you need to do a good job in basic management such as light, water, temperature, and water and fertilizer.
