Ditcheat

The male yew on the east side had a girth of 11′ 9” (358cm) at 1′, 11′ 4” (345cm) at 3′ and 12′ 2” (371cm) close to the ground, just above its bulging roots. At a height of 6′ and upwards are copious amounts of epicormic growth. Since the tree appears to have been topped at some time, this was presumably part of its recovery strategy. Some of its branches have been allowed to dip to the ground.
To the NW is a 6′ tall millennium yew, single stemmed and still protected by a plastic sleeve.
