Notes:

This is the largest of the seven yews. Girth of 12′ 5” (378cm) was with tape slightly undulating to obtain minimum girth. This increased to 13′ 2” (401cm) at 2′. The tree consists of three leaders from a break of crown at about 6′. Some adventitious growth was noted on the lower bole. It is quite a tall tree with only moderate amounts of foliage. The remaining trees were below 9′ in girth.
