stem of yew tree partly buried?
Hi there
I am planning a bed around my yew tree which is on a slope. In order to create a bed I would have to have the lower 20 - 30 cm of the yew trunk in the soil (in the bed). Would this be ok or could this damage the yew? I definately don't want to harm the yew.
Thanks for your help!!!

Burying tree trunks can cause them to rot
In the sticks near Peterborough
On the other hand my husband made a raised bed at the back of our garage and I buried my conifer nearly a quater up its trunk
Its been in for at least 10 years and is thriving ok
thank you both for your feedback!!
Happy gardening.
