Date of visit: 3-Jul-12

Notes:

Here are an old yew, a stump and a new planting. About a third of its trunk was dead and axe marks show failed attempts to cut into the dead section. The male had meagre, but healthy foliage. It grows inside a substantial raised space with a stone wall and room for the tree to expand. The church is on a popular walk – the Ruta de las Xanas, and has provided picnic tables and seats around the living tree. It has also made a yew stump, of similar girth to the living tree, into a picnic table, while the recent planting on the west side of the church maintains the tradition of yews at this site.
