TRIMMING and RESHAPING a yew hedge
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2021
- My yew hedges have become overgrown and beginning to die back as they starve themselves of light. Yew is an evergreen plant known for being able to withstand quite harsh pruning. After considering removing them and replacing them with other screening plants, I decided to cut them back instead and see how they respond. Please note that I surveyed them beforehand to ensure there was no animals living within them. This was important as I am currently renovating the gravel path which runs around these hedges. Always remember to wear a helmet!

Any chance of a quick follow-up to see how it's coming back? Great work
What you do is keep the larger branches with just a tuff of green at the end. It’s called a poodled cut. It’s very funky.
Just beautiful! Looks amazing. What an art of work this is. You made it look like a topic for conversation.
Thanks so much!
Looks fantastic!! Can't wait to see what it looks like in a few months!!
Love how you created that space within the bush! I'm inspired. 😊
Very informative. Love watching your progress!
My biggest fan ♥️
Looks, lovely Sam. You’re inspiring Jack and I. I’m eagerly awaiting your next video
I had shrubs that I let get way too big. When I trimmed them back it revealed lots of brown sticks, which were unattractive and the green never came back in more than a year. I went back at it and also used a recip saw to cut away everything but the tops, creating a rather topiary looking design. It looks okay and otherwise I would have had to pull them out because they looked so bad. You did a fantastic job with yours!

Yew stole my joke😤
Stop it yew two!!
At Caumsett State Park on Lloyd's Neck in Huntington New York, on Long Island, there is a 50 ft Taxus Tree. It is one of my favorite trees in all of the US. It is a Perfect specimen, with a beautiful formation of upward diagonal radial branches. A sight to behold.
It looks great. X
This technique is just called limbing up or tree forming. I also have a giant yew shrub that I plan on doing this too as well. They look horrible when it gets too massive.
Stunning work!
Thank You!
Need a follow up video!!!
Very nice work
Good work
Enjoyed your video! Great job!
Thanks very much!
Good job
Beautiful job x
Thanks!
A recip saw is totally under-rated for this sort of work. I've single handedly taken down a 100ft long 70plus yr old hedge with one because no chainsaws were alowed on site unless you had the appropriate ticket to use them. 👍
Definitely! It's so handy too because you can be very precise whilst also being fast
@@samvsgarden9893 yeah, esp when it was 110v on my todd and whilst doing other jobs all in one day because my 'colleagues' were busy and I was the only one that actually did any graft. Multi purpose blades worked well and I think I only got through 2or3 total because they got jammed in branches.
You can put chairs under any update of the looks please. Looks much better ❤
Love the result. Do you want to come and do my garden?
Sweet info!
Can ya sell the clippings?
Product accuracy
Hi, been searching for advice. I have a huuuuuge conifer hedge that I have taken into my care some moths ago that needs to be taken down to manageble height. I guess it is maybe 4-5 metres tall and I need it down to 2,5 meters. It has been neglected for many years sadly. Will it survive such an invasive cut in height? Some say it will eventually be fine in a couple of years, other say that the only thing to do is to get rid of it. It is manageble at the sides luckily.

Good effort. Taxus only grows a few mm a year.
Great results on your pruning. It looks like it will have a chance to regrow again.
does this encourage vertical growth?
Came from tiktok
how late in the season can this be done?
I came here 1st then went to your TikTok
will the part cutback grow back and if so how much time will it take to grow back to the original size?
yes! In fact, much of the trunks are already green with growth. It will take years for it to grow back to it's original size though, and I will be pruning it regularly!
3:30 😬
Hope ur little noggin is ok!
It looks freaky to me....severe for sure .. maybe only solution
I'm getting dizzy
Looks like a cypress, maybe is not a yew.
