Le Torquesne

Tree ID: 5355

Yews recorded: Ancient 5m-7m

Tree girth: 615cm

Girth height: at 20cm

Tree sex: male

Date of visit: 18-Jul-18

Source of earliest mention: 1862: Arcisse de Caumont

Notes:

A large removed branch on the east side reveals some internal growth, as does an opening on the opposite side. Here can be seen internal stems and much red heartwood. Looking upwards are hollowing branches. This is a characterful tree with some very thick fluting, a fine expansive shape and thick green foliage throughout. Girth of 6.15m was recorded at 20cm, the only measurable height available. The last photo shows a thick ivy stem that has been cut through.
