I severely pruned my four large overgrown yews in early April. There’s no going back on that! But I’d like to care for them properly now to give them the best shot. A man at a nursery told me to cut off the tender new growth in June, I’m assuming so the plant doesn’t expend energy on getting taller but on new buds. I did one but it scares me that I could have gotten bad advice. The thicker caned yews are already generating new buds on the wood but the two smaller caned yews are not. Should I cut the new growth off? They were cut to 26” but I’m thinking they should be shorter. True rejuvenation cuts are 6-12 inches. I read that more cuts can be made at anytime during the growing season. I left them taller to preserve the little bit of green they had inside. I have not fertilized them because I read that yews stressed from drought or renovation should not be fertilized. I spread some compost around each one and was thinking of adding mulch when the weather heats up. And lastly, will I need to wrap them in burlap for the next winter to help them survive? And should I do winter watering? Thank you for all your help. I’m not much of a gardener but I’m trying to learn. I have countless hours reading about yews. It was very stressful on me to cut them like that! 1st photo = new growth, 2nd photo = small caned yew, 3rd photo to show size before cutting.
