I may have been wrong about the selective weed killer killing my Yew, I am 90 % sure now it is moles,, they are using the narrow trench I dug for them as a motorway.

 

Anywhere where there is mole activity there are dying yew......today

grazon will kill most weeds and if done at the correct rate not kill the grass. hence its name may make it go a bit yellow but will recover. re trees and shrubs not a good idea to go near with any herbicide i use a board to protect any thing like hedging if spraying near to them. grazon is soon if not already to be removed from the market. also may be a bit late spraying as docks,rag are now growing past the rosette stage so may not be effective on killing them

They're back!

I have noticed some of my yew are declining again, I looked around a bit and found loads of open tunnels all around the roots. I'm presuming voles have moved into the redundant mole tunnels.

Further down I notice three mole hills so have set traps.
