Sorry that was pretty vague
I can't tell you how long for yours (Taxus x media'Densiformis') because I don't remember ... and no I'm not having a senior moment. I can tell you the following on the wide range of Yews.
I have had some cultivars root and have been potted well inside a season. Some more difficult ones like Baccata take to the next growing season and by that summer they were separated and in a pot. I will stress that if it goes through the winter before separation make sure to protect it well. Those spaghetti looking roots are really susceptible to winter elements, even more than say crabs or JBP.
I speak from experience learning the hard way
Good luck and when you take the leap keep us informed.
