Yews bounce back VERY faast from a dig, if done in the right time of year (Early spring). They will establish themselves very fast, it looks like. However, they invest a lot of energy in doing so. So you should leave the plant -after potting up in a suitable substrate- alone for at least 2 years.. During that time, you can decide which direction to take.
As winter is coming.. Protect the ptted plant against rain. Taxes hates wet feet, and with the reduced roots, it will have a hard time keep the feet dry.
