In the last couple of weeks, deer have
defoliated a large yew in my front garden.
Will this shrub "come back" this spring
and summer or will I have to remove it?
we have many mushroom shaped yews in our area because the deer tend to nibble at a certain height. they generally look tired and terrible after a few years, we removed ours when we moved in. if you like mushroom shaped yews, then keep it. otherwise, i suggest you get japanese yew, which the deer reputedly avoid.
