Soil Grow Chinese yew in a soil that drains well. Water Chinese yew has average water needs. Fertilizer Fertilize in early spring with a granular, high-nitrogen fertilizer. The typical fertilizer suitable for the Taxus genus has an NPK mix of 12-6-4. Apply the fertilizer one foot from the trunk and extend it to the dripline. Use 0.33 pounds of fertilizer per one foot of plant height. Propagation If you wish to turn a current Chinese yew into multiple plants, without having to spend money for them, the plant, fortunately, roots easily from cuttings. Warning A yew is not an ideal plant to grow in the yard if you have young children. Most parts of the plant are poisonous: the bark, leaves, and seeds. An exception is the flesh of the aril (berry-like cone). In spite of this odd exception, the aril cannot really be said to be safe to eat, since the seed inside it is toxic. Uses for Chinese Yew Traditionally, in China, the wood from Chinese yew has been used to make products such as furniture. It has also been used medicinally and in bonsai.
