Design Ideas

This evergreen is a fine choice for a low, spreading hedge or planted on either side of the front door as accents. It can be planted in little more extreme situations than most yews, as it is resistant to winter burn and tolerant of summer heat.

Planting Instructions:

Dig hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root ball. Place the plant into the new hole making sure that the top of the root ball is level with existing soil line.  Fill in the hole, using planting mix  at a ratio of  2 shovels native soil to 1 shovel planting mix (pack down soil around the root ball so that your soil doesn't settle). With extra soil make a well around the plant to retain water. Don't forget the Seaweed Extract, mix in 1 and ¼ ounces of extract to 1 gallon of water pour around base of plant.   In three weeks retreat with Seaweed Extract.  
 

Fertilizing During The Season:

You will want to fertilize in April, June, and September, we suggest Yum Yum  its a great organic fertilizer designed for our soil.  Don't forget to use a Winterizer or Yum Yum Winterizer  in November and January to help promote vigorous root systems.
