An extremely interesting and once beautiful yew. It is very hollow, the shell of the bole is only a few inches thick in most places, and one can see the sky by peering up the trunk and branches from inside. The canopy is very thin,, and added to this it is heavily shaded by surrounding trees, including large oaks. Rotten wood found inside the shell confirms that there have been no recent growth spurts.
