Muddy1, I have a 30 year old yew hedge, with a portal entering our secret garden. Internal inspection reviles very little breakage but it will be badly bowed. I have considered trying some stem grafts to try and prevent damage, maybe after this I will try. Yew is very sturdy wood and historically used for English longbows which were really Welsh, so I imagine the wood will tolerate a lot of stress.
