Thanks so much, I believe I'll give it a go.

Having a hard time getting pics with all the foliage in the way. It looks to me like the foliage is pretty evenly supported by three fairly large branches and a number of small branches in the center of these. It probably wasn't the great choice I thought it was at first. The stem goes down...

yes, there is some more trunk, I was a little worried about digging too far before I'm ready to repot. I didn't notice that reverse taper until I got some of the lowest foliage out of the way. It starts at the branching. I though perhaps I could remove all but the strongest branch and go for a...

Ah, well still. I must have had it confused with someone else's project. Please come over to my thread "yew for a beginner" and tell me what to do with my $19 yew, lol

I have my window boxes on a timer and love it. Never worry all summer. You can probably get an electronic timer and a drip on it for about $30.

But probably not available for $10 at your local nursery with that kind of trunk mass, lol.

I got this yew as a starter project because it had a nice sturdy trunk. I know you can't see much here because of the foliage, but I'm looking for advice on an initial pruning. I know it's probably late for it but I will keep it in shade and my experience with yews (non bonsai) in this area is...

Here's the thing, the discussion is for everyone. I for one appreciated the insight. It's not about you, it's for all of us. If you don't like to be replied to, you ought not to post. I hope everyone will keep explaining why they do what they do, for those of us who are learning. It's not...

This is a follow up to my first post. I have some money (a couple hundred) coming on paypal and would like to use it directly. I am wanting beginner supplies and hoped people have suggestions of the good vendors on ebay or other online folks that accept paypal. I am looking for a beninner...

I just chopped three trees, two elms and an unknown, and did two air layers. So it begins.

Interesting you would say that, I was just looking at a couple of candidates for air layering. one is in the field next to my house, I'm not even sure of the species, but it's got a branch with a ridiculously fast taper. The tree itself will be ripped out someday so I would loose nothing by...

I tried the one nearest me a couple days ago,but got no response from the email on the contact page. I just sent another message and will give the next closest one a try next.

I do alright with the growing part. This is my house last year.

I picture myself buying from nursery even box store stock, maybe even doing some collecting in the woods (I have an endless supply of young red cedar growing in the field next door, lol) or from landscaping that is being removed (probably down the road). I'm not really interested in buying...

Thanks, I appreciate it. AS for species, Are there any that I might be able to pick up at a local nursery or is there a reasonable online source?

OK, sorry. I'm in Missouri, right on the edge of zones 6 & 7.

Hi, first post, I've been lurking for a couple weeks. I'm sure that everything I want to know has been covered somewhere, but I'm hoping some helpful souls will be able to point me in the right direction. I've been watching a lot of youtube videos, love those ones by the Brittish guy Graham...
