The Gardener's Textbook 📗🌳 Today's Garden Tree: 'Yew'

Today, at one of the gardens I visited, a client said this to me:
I ask you to come every year, but when the work is
finished, the whole garden looks brighter.

This time, we are trimming a Yew.

Yews are hardy and tolerate trimming well, making them
a garden tree that has been loved in Japanese gardens
for a long time.
However, if left alone for many years, the branches become unruly, and the beautiful tree shape is lost.

✂️ Points I focused on this time
✅ Don't just cut the tips of the branches
✅ Balance the size of the spheres
✅ Finish the overall roundness naturally

👀 Comparing the photos...

The impression of the same tree changes significantly.
・The whole garden looks brighter
・The tree gains a three-dimensional look
・Airflow is improved
The client was also happy, saying, 'I'm glad I asked you again this year.'

💡 A one-point tip from the gardener
A Yew is not a tree that is
good just because it is cut short.
If you are conscious of the flow of the branches and the roundness of the spheres,
you can keep it looking beautiful for years to come.
