- Synopsis
- In this image of a yew tree, the trunk stems from the bottom centre of the page and the leafy branches are in the bottom half of the page. There is a locator dot shown, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. There is a picture of some yew needles in the top left and a picture of a yew berry in the top right of the page. The needle leaf stem is to the top right of the needles themselves. The berry is similarly positioned. For scale there is a 'stick man' representing the height of an adult person in the bottom right of the page. The yew is one of the three British native evergreen trees. It is slow growing and can reach the grand age of 2,000 years. It is often found growing in old churchyards. Its wood was used for making longbows. The fruit shown on the page is often called a berry but it is really a cup-shaped red coat or aril protecting a single naked seed. The leaves and seeds are very poisonous.
