Taxus x media - Japanese yew

continental : These plants don't like direct solar rays, which could ruin their foliage; we therefore advise to locate them in the shade.
These plants are grown in the garden year round because they are rustic.

alpine : These plants don't like direct sunlight, which could ruin their foliage; we should therefore locate them in a shady place.
These plants are rustic, they can stand the heat and cold, therefore they can be planted outside.

mediterranean : This plant favours shady sites, avoid exposing it to direct soloar rays, especially during very hot days.
These plants can stand the cold weather, they can be grown as garden plants during the whole year.

continental : During this time of year very frequent watering is advised, even daily if the climate is very hot and dry; let’s try to keep the soil cool and damp. Irrigate every 1-2 weeks, during the evening or morning hours.

alpine : The Taxus x media should be watered regularly, to maintain the substratum slightly damp using 5-6 buckets of water; if the climate is very hot and there are scarce precipitations it might be necessary to water every 2-3 weeks, or more often than that.

mediterranean : We suggest watering often, trying to keep the soil slightly damp with 7-8 buckets of water, but avoiding excesses; the forming of water stagnations also harm those plants which love wetness, usually the frequency of watering is every 0-1 weeks.

Feed Taxus x media : In this period of the year it isn’t necessary to fertilize trees; if we intend planting new trees, let’s enrich the soil with organic fertilizer.

Adversity Taxus x media : Summer treatments should be applied only in cases of displayed infesting; a dry climate favours the development of ticks and rust. During this period of the year, since there are many useful insects in the garden, it is advisable to avoid using wide-range products, favouring the use of specific products against each type of parasite. Let’s apply the treatments during early morning or evening hours.
