Yeah this is my 5th taxus now. It's a little unsightly, but it's the back side and who knows, eventually it may blend in with the trunk better... I can't wait to see the roots on this one nest year.Nice !
Yews are awesome!
Only thing thats a horrible big root on one side
Yep... this was dug and potted in March this year. So, next spring!Only one sugestion about yews and roots
Expect the worst is my experience lol
They are tough as nails tough
Thanks man... I think there will be more dead wood in the future on this one... still need to study the tree more and come up with ideas...That root ain't nothing but bulk and movement...
A place to run your live vein into the soil.
I like it.

Lol, yep! His hat drew me right in, and when I saw the 4 yews, I knew I was in the right place...The show this year was such a letdown. Very few vendors.
You bought that from the guy in the wizard hat right?
Thanks!Nice find! I didn't see that one. I tend to agree w Sorce - in the world of taxus bonsai that root could easily be a feature.
Did you tour the collection?
nice! who did you buy from...i wonder if we knew each other...are you in the baltimore club?Went down to the national arboretum today, found a nice looking taxus to add to my other ones...5 now....I need to slow down dude....
I needed a little dead wood in my life...

Absolutely! Thanks!When you repot next year consider a rectangular box and plant it so that root mass is either going to the left or right. Then start the process of pulling the branches downward in the same direction. Anything left on the opposite side could be worked into proper deadwood or removed. From what I am seeing that root mass is not to be hidden.

Ya know, I didn't get the guys name, but as @Redwood Ryan said, it was the guy in the back corner wearing the wizard hat.nice! who did you buy from...i wonder if we knew each other...are you in the baltimore club?
Thanks!
Yes I did go through, always do...
I'm sad that the Japanese pavilion is still closed, it's been how many years now??...jeeze....
That one is nuts! How do you reckon that happened?This beauty?
