Firepit Border - Along Fence - Hicks Yews Update - November 2024

More Yew posts.  At least...I have a few more Hicks Yew posts to document the current state of the garden.  Next up - today - is a pair of Hicks Yews that are planted along the fence in the firepit border on the south side of the gravel pad.  

I last posted about these in Summer 2023, when I discovered that I had NOT posted about their planting.  I'm going to guess that these went in the ground in 2022.  That means they have had that same 2.5 growing seasons under their belt.

In the photo at the top of this post, you can see the current state of the Yews.   Slow and steady it seems.  In the shade.  Even without irrigation.  

This is part of the Yew update series of posts that are documenting the various shrubs in our yard.  I've posted about the Brown's Yew, the hedge of small Hicks Yews (for an undulating hedge) in the far backyard, the Hicks Yews that I planted *behind* the Oakleaf Hydrangeas in the 'kitchen curved bed', just a few days ago I shared an update showing the growth on the pair of Hicks Yews that I planted for a 'Block I' topiary in the understory garden and just yesterday, I posted a photo showing the pair of Hicks Yews on either side of the entrance to our firepit.
