What`s New - December 2010 Ancient Yew Group`s New Website Contained within our new look website are articles and information that take us a step closer to understanding and protecting our oldest trees. Because the website now contains nearly 100 articles, these have been reordered. We hope that those familiar with the old website will find the transition painless. December 2010 |

What`s New - October 2010 New sites In August we announced the future inclusion of younger trees (age 300 plus), to be known as Notable Yews.

The following contain a photo of the tree or site. The following sites have been added with no illustrative photograph: October 2010 |

What`s New - May 2010 New sites New photo Lost yew I have spent much of this month in southern France and observed many plane trees, planted in towns and villages, exhibiting the same characteristics I had considered unique to the churchyard yew. There were the same holes and bulging caused by branch removal and in some of the older trees a complete horse-shoe shaped hollow shell had developed. It was also possible to see root material growing downwards into the decaying centre of some trees, though I saw no instance where this resulted in development of the internal stem seen in many ancient yews.

What`s New - February 2010 Peter Norton The Moot Garden Yews, Downton This sort of information gathering continues a tradition begun in the 19th century, and people who study the yew now are indebted to recorders like Hutchison (On the Old and Remarkable Yew Trees in Scotland 1890) and Lowe (The Yew Trees of Great Britain and Ireland 1897). The information being gathered by the Ancient Yew Group through the contributions of recorders like Peter Norton will be the internet equivalent of Hutchison and Lowe in centuries to come.
