I'd be curious to know if you've ever heard of folks air-layering to get new Yaupon cuttings. I'm thinking of doing a hedgerow out of Yaupon to see how it compares against boxwood, and I'd like to treat it much like they do in Europe, by pleaching the stems and bringing them down to ground level where they can root out and create a new plant over time. This intertwined Yaupon hedge would look fantastic, I think, with all the red berries on them. I had thought about using the "nana" versions that grow short naturally, but those are all male plants for some reason. Aggravating, to say the least, and it means more maintenance to keep the hedge from trying to grow tall. Still, that might be a small price to pay if it means I can have Yaupon tea ever at the ready!
I'll admit, I haven't heard of this! However, I'd much prefer a Yaupon hedge to a boxwood. If anything, I'd just try to do your Yaupon pruning in the summer versus the winter as summer pruning can help to curtail growth vs. winter pruning which accelerates it. Winter can be for shaping though. Might be an elementary suggestion for you, though, I'd love to hear what you decide to do. -Cory
Pronounced "yo - pohn" with the accentuated syllable, following the rule, being on the penultimate syllable, or the first syllable of this word; the "yo". "yo-pohn" Just seems the Texan code to let a fella Texan know.
THANK YOU!! The pronunciation was making me ask, "Where you from, bro!" The ow pronunciation in this video is making me say OUWCH!! Then I gave him a break, and thought perhaps he's never spoken to anyone about this tree, but he's only read the word in a book. And so, for a more exact explanation, Texans pronounce it like this: Yo ‐ as in, "Yo, buddy!" pon - as in how one says "pond" except leave off the "d". Yo-pon NOT YOW - as in "ouch" or "how" - just no!

@@CoryAmesYT I'm hesitant to try it and risk losing a plant, or at least a limb. Still, nothing ventured, nothing gained...
