Yew tree propagation result
In the spring of the second year after take the cuttings, I see roots in the bottom of the pot.
There have been many cuttings that have failed, so it’s always good to take many cuttings of the species that have a lower success rate (at least for me).
I chose this pot as a good example, it has three successful cuttings to demonstrate here.
It’s time to separate and pot the new yews individually.
I always prefer to plant perennials in early spring. Deciduous plants are often potted in the fall or throughout their dormant period.
As you can see, the aerial part has not developed much. However, it is the underground part that interests us. It is important that there are good roots so that new plants can establish quickly and develop from there.
Plant the new yews
I remove the plants from the pot, and carefully separate them.
A chopstick can be useful at this stage to untangle the roots.
Notice how well the cuttings rooted. They have everything to grow strong!
Now, I fill a pot with generic potting compost, add the yew plant and top up with more compost all around the roots.
I compact the soil slightly just so that the plant is stable in the pot.
Finally, I watered the pots and placed them outdoors in a relatively sheltered place until they show signs of new growth.
