Planting Instructions:

• - Can be planted anytime the soil temps are 60F

Soil Preparation:

• - Ideal soil pH: 6.0-7.0, tolerating slightly acidic to neutral conditions
• - Prefers well-drained soil with good organic content; avoid overly wet or compacted areas

Watering Specifics:

• - Water deeply and regularly during the first year to establish roots
• - Once established, drought-tolerant but benefits from supplemental watering during prolonged dry spells

Fertilizer Type:

• - Apply a slow-release, balanced fertilizer in early spring
• - Avoid over-fertilizing, as yews grow well in nutrient-poor soils and excessive nutrients can harm them

Pruning and Training:

• - Prune in late winter or early spring before new growth begins
• - Can be shaped or trimmed regularly to maintain a neat appearance, particularly in hedges

Additional Pest Management:

• - Generally pest-resistant but monitor for spider mites and scale insects
• - Ensure good air circulation and avoid overwatering to prevent fungal issues like root rot

Temperature Tolerance:

• - Protect from excessive wind in exposed areas, which can dry out the foliage
