Don't give up on it.

 

I was asked a couple of months back to take out what appeared to be a dead Yew (very brown), went to do it today.

 

When I got there it was looking much better, one side was greening up and the other side had little green green shoots on the tips of the brown branches.

 

So we are going to wait and hope.

 

I think it may have just been the very dry spell, plus some ground works done around it.

 

I had another Yew a few years back, that came back from the brink.

[David Humphries]

I've too witnessed lazurus like returns from Yews, but as this is possibly many hundreds of years old Dave, the vascular band must be so thin, that any stress could be an episode too far for such a Veteran.

mulch it give it a tickle (willing volunteer) and see how it fairs

[Mesterh]

Do you think it has succumb to the bad old phytophthora?

 

Especially with the wet summer, or well have you had that there?

[Tony Croft aka hamadryad]
