Garthbeibio

Tree ID: 459

Yews recorded: Notable

Tree girth: 361cm

Girth height: at root crown

Tree sex: unspecified

Date of visit: 1-Jul-16

Source of earliest mention: 1946: The Churchyard Yew and Immortality - Cornish

Notes:

Paul Wood – 2016: The yew was measured at the root crown, its narrowest point. Close examination suggests that this was once larger girthed. In its present form it is growing well with a very green canopy. It appears to be the only yew here that is regularly cut back, perhaps to allow for easier access to the church entrance, only a few metres north of the tree.
