April 2003 – Tim Hills: The yew is in the process of fragmentation. Bars are in place to hold the sides together. Branches dip to the ground around the tree. Girth was 16′ 9” (511cm) at the ground expanding to exactly 20′ (610cm) at 2′.
Photos taken on 11/Feb/2000 were sent to the Conservation Foundation.
