What is it with yew trees? A friend of mine told me that there was a definite link between yew trees and henges - he also claimed that if you sit under a yew for long enough you'd start to trip out! I can't say I've tried it (yet!) but I am intrigued by Yew trees nonetheless. Does anyone have any more information or ideas about these ancient trees?
As for the Fortingall tree it's over 5,000 years old!
