Yew Hedging

Taxus baccata can reach 400-600 years old. It is regularly found in the churchyards of England, Wales, Scotlans Ireland and northern France. It was King Edward I of England that ordered tha yew trees were planted in churchyards. This was in order to protect the buildings. Some yews existed long before their respective churches howeevr. This is because preachers held services beneath them when churches were unavailable.

Yews became symbols of death, rebirth, and therefore immortality due to the ability of their branches to root and sprout anew after touching the ground.
