Collect seeds in the autumn and plant them immediately, or leave them in a dormant state in a cold place for at least three months to promote germination. - Propagation by Cuttings: You can propagate by cutting the tips of branches in spring or early summer. Using a rooting hormone before planting can increase the rooting rate. Cultivation Methods - Planting: Plant in well-drained soil and select a planting site where sunlight is not too intense. - Watering: Be careful not to overwater, and water appropriately during dry periods. - Fertilizer: Apply appropriate fertilizer in spring and autumn to promote growth. Uses in Gardens - Border Tree: Yew trees are widely used as border trees and can be cultivated into various forms due to their high shaping potential. - Screening: They are also useful for privacy screening, providing a forest-like effect. Important Pests and Control Methods - Pests and Diseases: Yew trees are generally resistant to pests and diseases, but pests such as ladybugs may occur periodically. - Control Methods: When pests occur, they can be controlled using insecticides or natural predators.
