Dog urine turned my YEW yellow. can I save it?
My,there must be some huge dogs in your area!


Before cutting the yew back,try flooding the area around the base in an effort to soak away the pollution.If possible,leave a hose running-then water in a seaweed based liquid feed.


It's not advisable to cut a yew back too hard,but it's worth trying too save it.


Good luck!
Reply:i guess but make sure it's not fall or anything

















i searched it on the internet and found some other yellow yews














but i think it's normal have you seen the dog actually pee on it??











i found this kind of yew it's Taxus baccata IVORY TOWER











it has pale yellow yew with variegated needles.








and said it just normal








if it's really pead by the dog you can


------High concentrations of urine (ammonia) are difficult for any plant to survive and grass is definitely not "urine-hardy." If this is the area the dogs constantly use for their toilet, the grass is going to burn. NO way around it.





You could run out each time they pee and water the area to dilute the urine (I can tell you're not jumping at this). Otherwise, the problem is not going to go away. Your other option (just what you want to hear after slaving after the sod) is another groundcover altogether - the most dog-proof, pebbles or mulch. -----








hope it helps








do your best in growing it
