    Such a timely video again. I have a Yew that has been on this property since long before I bought the house decades ago. I've been maintaining it as a garden sculpture for years, but I have grown some confidence, and my wife insists that its needs to be changed, so I will be tackling it in the next few weeks. I plan on pretty much re-inventing the tree's design, doing some MAJOR surgery, and seeing what comes forth in its structure. Thank you again for another project to watch you work on. Always inspirational....

    This video comes at a very fortuitous time for me - Thanks Peter. REALLY looking forward to progressive videos on this tree 👍
    December 2020 I rescued six yews from a hedge. Of those six I have five that have survived... four have done well, one was slow and the sixth did *try* but failed and now looks dead. I'm going to chop this one back, replant and see if it may rejuvenate next spring. One that has done extremely well looks very similar to the one you've worked on here but is taller at approx. 5 ft so I'm thinking "air layer" next year. Whether to do other work... thin back or not etc., I'll think about this winter.

    • @FrankEtchells
      @FrankEtchells Před 2 lety

      @@kristijandobra6269 thanks. The trees had been dug up by someone else and would have gone to the recycling plant and disposed of there. That was mid December 2020. They had a small amount of soil in their roots but not much. I planted them in some 35 ltr (?) boxes, holes drilled in the bottom sides where the sides/bottom curved. I used a mixture of top soil, potting grit and potting sand - 2-1-1. I also put some sphagnum moss in the mix. To try to protect during cold spells I used the clear large wheelie bin bags over them and frost fleece protection on the soil area. I don't have room for plastic covered tunnels etc.

I have a question and from all that I have read Fir trees are some of the most challenging trees to bonsai. I have a seedling Korean fir x Frasir Fir tree started from seedling is now 23 years old and 4 foot high. Pretty much normal growing but have nipped the new growth in spring every other year or so to minimize. Any suggestions with Fir evergreens? I find it a challenge I like how it looks but somthing is just missing. But LOVE Fir trees.
