Transplanted Hicks Yew - Southside Bed - September 2022
Late last season, I planted six small upright Hicks Yews in a little row about half-way back in the southside bed of the backyard . My thought was that I was going to to try to bring a little bit of repetition to the landscape by trying to mirror or repeat the Hicks Yew hedge that I've been growing along the back of our property. They all seemed to have done just fine this season, but earlier this Spring, I undertook a shrub project that involved relocating the four Lilacs from this area and replacing them with three Green Giant Thujas. If you look at this post showing the planting of the Thujas , you can see the six small Hicks Yews. In that post, I talked about how I needed to relocate some of these Yews and with the temperatures dropping, I was finally able to get around to starting that relocation. Below, you can see one of the Green Giant Thujas and a hole in the mulch directly in front of it where I dug the Yew out of as it was a pretty tight fit. I decided to keep it
