shortening tall yew trees to 1.5m

Anonymous user 3 March 2024 - 3.25 PM

I have 2 tall yew trees in my front garden, above and near telephone wires. They take too much moisture from the ground (clay soil). If I cut them to 1.5m short - will this reduce their moisture uptake - will the new shoots grow from the cut top to cover it - when is the best time in the year to do this to not kill them.
