Fertilize Hicks Yew again in late summer to mid-fall. Either chemical fertilizers or organic matter can be used successfully with Hicks Yew. Since an organic method of applying manure and\/or compost around the roots, produces excellent results and also improves the condition of the soil, this would be an excellent first line of attack. Organic additions to the soil can also be combined with a shot of chemical fertilizer for maximum effect.\"    }  },{    \"@type\": \"Question\",    \"name\": \"Which mulch is best for hicks yew?\",    \"acceptedAnswer\": {      \"@type\": \"Answer\",      \"text\": \"We highly recommend that you mulch your Hicks Yew with either a ground hardwood mulch or a ground cypress mulch depending on your local availability. Any type of mulch will do but cypress or hardwood mulch will be of a higher quality and provide better nutrition overall as they breakdown. Mulching helps to keep weeds away which will compete with your new investment for water and nutrients. A 2 to 3 inch layer of mulch is sufficient but remember to take care not to cover any part of the stem of the plant with mulch. Its better to leave a one inch gap of space between the mulch and the stem or trunk of the plant.\"    }  },{    \"@type\": \"Question\",    \"name\": \"When is the right time to prune my Hicks yew?\",    \"acceptedAnswer\": {      \"@type\": \"Answer\",      \"text\": \"Cut young pyramidal junipers to leave only a single vertical stem, known as the central leader. Choose the healthiest and straightest of multiple leaders, and cut the remaining vertical stems back to the ground or point of origin with the main trunk. Prune the Hicks Yew in early spring after the last chance of frost and before buds set so that the new flush of growth has sufficient time to harden off over the summer before winter. Cut any dead branches back to the point of origin on the parent stem or back to the central leader trunk. Leave at least a bit of green foliage on the branch, if possible, so it can produce vigorous new growth; sometimes a branch is completely dead, so you can simply cut it back to the trunk. Cut broken branches back to the nearest point of intersection with a healthy, unbroken branch. If possible, avoid cutting branches so far back that you expose the dead zone — the area within a Hicks Yew in which branches are not actually dead, but they do not grow foliage because they are not exposed to light. Clipping the green tips of branches encourages a new flush of growth, but new growth will not develop from the tips of branches in the dead zone because this is old wood. Cut the top of the Hicks Yew back to its joint with a lateral branch, if needed, to control the height, but do not cut down into the dead zone. If you cut only the green portion of the top, then a new central leader will develop; cutting into the dead zone leaves a flat top that is undesirable for pyramidal plants. Thin out as much as 20 percent of the total Hicks Yew foliage, cutting the branches back to the central leader or trunk to open up the remaining branches to airflow and sunlight. The dead and broken branches count toward the total 20 percent, and other branches should be chosen carefully so you don’t disrupt the shape or leave gaping holes that allow you to see into the inner dead zone pull back from the Hicks Yew and observe its shape. Trim any branches that stick out from the basic pyramidal shape, clipping each back to the intersection with a lateral branch so the cuts are not obvious and a new tip will develop. Trim individual branches as needed to maintain the shape at any time throughout the year. If a few branches become too long, you can cut them back to maintain the shape at any time, but severe or more thorough pruning should only be done in early spring.\"    }  }]}\/\/ ]]\u003e\u003c\/script\u003e","brand":"gardengoodsdirect","offers":[{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":35764548206742,"sku":"24495","price":59.95,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0461\/4284\/9174\/products\/Yew-Japanese-Duke-Gardens.jpg?v=1597349415","url":"https:\/\/trysnowwre-com.myshopify.com\/products\/yew-japanese-plum-duke-gardens-shrubs","provider":"trysnowwre.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
