Taxus media is an outdoor evergreen plant.
Location
They are fairly unfussy and will grow in sun or some shade. Yew has lovely dark green foliage, and new shoots grow easily from old wood and the material is easy to train into bonsai.
Temperature
If the yew is outside during colder weather it is not unusual for the leaves to turn a golden colour we call it winter blush. This does not harm the tree and the leaves will turn green again in the spring.
Watering
Water regularly throughout the growing season, giving more water in summer. Although the soil should never be allowed to dry out completely in winter, do not allow it to become too wet as the combination of waterlogged soil and frost can damage yew roots.
Pruning
Prune Yews in early autumn, cutting secondary shoots back above the needles and try not to cut through needles as they will turn brown.
Repotting
Check if the tree needs repotting every 2-3 years.
Feeding
Apply general feed in spring and early autumn.
