Accelerate growth of the yew by fertilizing
So that the yew grows a little faster in height, make sure that the tree receives sufficient nutrients when planting. To do this, improve the soil with compost, lime and horn shavings.(32.93€)
Especially in the first few years, you should spread mature compost in the spring or administer long-term fertilizer.
Cut back yew more often
You can also speed up the growth of the yew by cutting back the yew at least twice a year. It then forms many new shoots, which, for example, make yew hedges opaque more quickly.
tips
Mulching is a good way to fertilize a yew tree while maintaining water balance. Garden waste that is free from pests and fungi and does not bear seed heads is suitable as mulch material.
