How to care for Taxus baccata Fastigiata Robusta:
Yew thrives in full sun to partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. Plant in a hole twice the size of the root ball, amended with organic matter. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and fertilise annually with a balanced granular feed.
Pruning is not usually necessary, however any shoots that ruin the symmetry of the plant can be removed in late summer. Apply a generous layer of mulch around the base of the plant (avoiding the immediate crown) in late winter.
