Yew Tree
Hi This is my first post here.
We have a large garden which has been neglected over the last few years and which I now am trying to knock into some shape I have many questions as I am not garden orientated so I may well be asking here from time to for advice. My first question concerns a very old Yew Tree. I have been told it is a few hundred years old but unfortunately it is growing in the wrong place (around 6-8 feet from the house) As the house is also very old and there is no signs of root damage we are leaving it be for the moment but I was wondering if this is the best thing to do as I am reluctant to chop it down. Maybe just keep it well pruned But pruning is also a problem It is just above roof level at the moment and I would like to reduce it as much as possible Should I do this in one go or take a few years over it. Once you take out the perimeter growth there is mainly just branches inside and I was wondering how stressed the tree would get if I removed most of the foliage and how well this would regrow Finally this year it has produced thousands of berries which are depositing themselves right where we walk to the house entrance These things a real pain as those with a similar problem will know They just dissolve into a sticky gooey mesh when you touch them How do others deal with them Many Thank Mike -- |
