Back in August I purchased three Yew's that were not grown for bonsai but just for nursery sale. One I gave away and two are currently living at my place. This is part one of what I hope will be a long story over many years and at each up-date there will be improvement in the tree.
This is part one and the first work done was to get it to a manageable size.

Re: I Love Yew 2
Last weekend I decided it was time for part 2, which was simply to get it into a pot that I was able to move around. Originally the tree and pot weighed about 80 kg and it was too difficult to move it around.

Re: I Love Yew 2
Look forward to seeing what you end up doing with this Watto.
I saw one a few years back and didn't have the foggiest idea what to do with it so I passed.
To clarify the growth habit was too unusual and I just couldn't get my head around it.

One of the fabulous things about growing bonsai is as you get old and decrepit your trees get old and beautiful

Re: I Love Yew 2
This is a long term project but hopefully it will be OK in 5 to 10 years.
Tony Tickle who does a lot of work with Yew will be in Australia next year and I hope to be able to talk to him about the species then.
