Starting a little #ThickTrunkTuesday series today: every week a short 🧵on a different #Tree and its #historicalecology, meanings, uses, #Mythology etc.

Today it’s the #Yew - a tree I’ve been intrigued by ever since we first came across this big old yew tree next to #Wilmington church here in #Sussex. It’s over 1,500 years old and pretty amazing! 1/x

Great thread, thank you! I love yews. We used to have one by our front door that screened our 2nd-floor bedroom window, made it feel like a treehouse! It was only a baby, planted about 98 years ago. Unfortunately it got uprooted by a late-spring ice storm a few months ago. 😭
