Position

Keep your bonsai outdoors all year round in a bright, sheltered position. Some light shade is fine, particularly during hot summer weather.

Watering

Your tree is planted in a very free-draining bonsai medium. Check it regularly and water thoroughly when the surface begins to dry.

During warm or windy periods, daily watering may be necessary. In cooler, wetter weather, water less frequently.

Never allow the tree to stand in water.

Feeding

Feed with a balanced bonsai fertiliser throughout the growing season, following the manufacturer's instructions. Stop feeding during winter.

Pruning

Yews respond well to pruning. Light pruning can be carried out during the growing season to maintain shape and encourage compact growth.

Repotting

Repot when the roots have filled the pot or the growing medium requires refreshing. Early spring is generally the best time in the UK.

Signs that your bonsai may require repotting include water becoming slow to drain through the medium, roots becoming tightly congested, reduced growth or vigour, and signs of general stress despite appropriate watering and feeding.

Winter

Yews are very hardy and should remain outdoors. During prolonged severe frost, a sheltered position can provide additional protection.

Important

Yew is poisonous if eaten. The red, fleshy covering around the seed (aril) is not poisonous, but the seed itself is highly poisonous and must never be eaten. Keep the bonsai away from children and pets and take care when handling or pruning.
