Can anyone advise me weather or not, English Yew (Taxus baccata) is suitable for root/nebari grafting. I have a very lob sided root structure on a potential shohin. I'm suspecting an approach graft is the way to go, as threading evergreen foliage through a thread graft would be near impossible.

Also, is it completely necessary to leave the remainder of the donor plant above the grafting union? As it's a potential shohin I'm not sure there will be room for this.
