alot of trees around here are definately suffering from lack of water, seeing it in yews and saw it yesterday in a large cedar of lebanon., with the high winds we are getting and new leaf growth coming into trees i reckon also alot of oaks will be shedding limbs to save themselves as well. i think your yew will be ok, they are extremely resiliant and can never really be killed off , try and lighten the trees load so it saves its strength, can you simpatheticly take off some branches to help it, or just leave it when the rains come and you can bet your bottom dollar were into summer soon so wet weather it will recover.

What is the height and age of the tree ? has it realy been that hot in your neck of the woods ?

Hi

Tree is about 6 metres tall and we have been her 15 years and its not grown much in that time,so i'm guessing its about 30 years old

Its been quite hot round here about 27 degrees

The yew is starting to get crowded by next doors leyladii
