Sully

Tree ID: 5596

Yews recorded: Ancient 4m-5m

Tree girth: 498cm

Girth height: No data

Tree sex: male

Date of visit: 16-Jun-19

Source of earliest mention: 1857: Arcisse de Caumont

Notes:

The yew was measured with difficulty, but 12′ 1” of trunk and 4′ 3” of wall gives a girth above 16′. The wall has no doubt played its part in the trunk’s elongated form. It develops five main branches from a height of about 6′. A sixth major branch has been truncated, as well as many smaller ones on the side of the tree above the wall. The wall has had its direction altered, probably more than once, to allow for the tree’s expansion.
