Is my yew OK?

Asked May 5, 2017, 9:05 PM EDT

There is a yew bush growing in our side yard (it was here when we moved in 2 years ago so we don't know the history) and while there is new growth, a lot of the tips are brown. I don't recall if it did this last year. Should I be concerned?

We think this is likely to be dieback of fresh tips that were nipped by a late freeze.
They should dry out and drop off without a problem.
