Why Are The Tips Of The Branches Of My Yew Bushes Turning Brown?

Question

I have had it for 33 years and never had a problem. I have done nothing different.

Answer 1

Thirty-three years is a long time. Has there been any drought this year or exceptionally high heat, both of which will scorch the needles. Excessive cold will, too, but I'm assuming this just happened recently. If it is environmental, the green growth should appear again in spring.
