I have 3 yews in a front flower bed that look straggly. I will be completely redoing this bed in a few days. It has purple iris, butterfly flower (lavendar), bulbs, mint. I plan to make it a butterfly bed, and use purples, lavendar, grayish leaved plants, white and yellow. I had intended the yews to round out the sharp straight corners. Will they get taller or just keep spreading horizontally? Will they eventually die out and be bare underneath? Can I successfully prune them? It is not a full sun bed, gets some shade, faces west, but the sun is blocked some by a front wooded area about 30 feet away.
