help! for yew trees with yellowing needles in New England
Hello,
We have 3 yew trees, and we are just north of Boston, MA. They did fine until 2 years ago. The one, with the greatest south-east exposure, about 14 feet high, had almost all needles turn yellow two springs ago. One local expert said that there was a condition of winter drying/drought, and we had very little snow 2 years ago. But, even the trees on the north-west side have whole sections of branches that have yellowed, yet, there is green new growth, also. *** Is there anything to be done? I've put down lime as soils here get acidic, but this may just be too late to help. One arborist said to dig trenches out from the trees and put down maneure. I asked about fertilizer "sticks" and she advised against. We watered the sadest one, but, even with almost a full June of rain, it is no better. The first tree, I pruned back almost to a "stub." It is now half the height, and I've trimmed ever branch, and what is left looks quite sad. Anyone? Help! Regards, Curtiss -- W.
