We have a huge tree on our front garden and we were considering cutting it down and replacing it with yew hedges. It turns out the tree itself is a yew and grows beautiful red berries on it in the autumn. The birds love it, so I think we'll cut it back and use the cuttings to try and establish a hedgerow.

Hello from Adelaide South Australia. Very clear, thank you. I purchased about 10 (in pots), and they have grown beautifully here, even with our hot (up to 42 deg C) summers. they would be about 10 ft tall now. I intend to try my hand at cuttings so this with a view to a hedge of about 40 m. long. In pots, they are fiercely expensive. If successful, I probably will not live to see it get above about 8 feet!

Darren, did you ever do a follow up to this video please? I'm about to take a number of cuttings and was wondering how yours got on.

Thank you for sharing beautiful plants

First view from Malaysia

Yew is a very slow grower tho. Any suggestions to use a larger cutting like a meter long in order to give it a good head start?

Do you not need rooting gormone powder?

Thinking of taking a 12 inch cutting and have a support next to it and planting it directly in the soil in the State of Nebraska USA. How long will it take before the root system will develop? What soil temp would you suggest to planting? Thanks

How wonderful. I love Yew. No hormone rooting powder? That is amazing. Darren will you leave the cuttings indoors until you replant them? Yew trees are my favourite English trees and their berries are so beautiful. Do you think that the berries contain seeds? About the missing seceteurs, Ava was using them 😂🤣🥰

Great video. I love yews. How often do you water the cuttings?

So you recommend stripping the bark from the lower part of the cutting, would be for any cutting you do or just yew?

Can you please show the results, which % has rooted?

Its a pity the berries are highly poisonous to dogs (and humans) and so you cant let it berry as the berries are lovely looking.
