Europe’s most ancient species of tree, the yew has many unique
characteristics: it is a ‘conifer’ without resin or cones, and
though it has an extraordinarily low rate of photosynthesis, it can
grow where other plants wither and die. It was in the Palaeolithic
Era that humans were first struck by the yew’s regenerative
powers and began to associate it with concepts of life, death, the
afterlife and eternity. Yew trees can be found at the sacred sites
of Native Americans and Buddhists, and Shinto shrines in Japan, as
well as in Christian churchyards, where they became a symbol of the
Resurrection. Now available in paperback, this richly illustrated
cultural and natural history includes the latest scientific
discoveries about a most remarkable tree.
