I got this tree toward the end of the growing season last year, and just kept it until a couple of weeks ago, when I bare rooted half of it.
It's pushing out a lot of new growth, but as you can see in the pics there are a few needles on the interior that appear to not be getting enough sunlight.
Aside from pruning to allow for more light penetration, what can I do about this? I'm not even sure I want to be doing any pruning, because my understanding of yews is that they're very fickle, and I'm trying to help it recover asap.
Let me know what you think!
