Has anyone tried pruning a Taxus Baccata 'Fastigiata Aurea' (golden Irish
yew)?
I have pruned that with a hedgetrimmer with no adverse effects. I find that
some shrubs/trees withstand pruning at the (wrong) tme and are fine. I try
to prune as appropriate but on occasion have had to go against all the
recommendations but no problems so far. Just remember, in gardening there
are no guarantees.
