Fortingall Yew
The Fortingall Yew is an ancient European yew (''Taxus baccata'') in the churchyard of the village of Fortingall in Perthshire, Scotland. Modern expert estimates have put its age at between 1,500 and 3,000 years. It may be the oldest tree in Britain.
==Age==
Modern expert estimates put the age of the tree at between 2,000 and 3,000 years, although it may be a remnant of a post-Roman Christian site and around 1,500 years old.〔Bevan (2004) pp. 38–39〕 Others have suggested an age as great as 5,000 years,〔"2500 years" according to Augustin Pyramus de Candolle, noted in Lindsay (1884) pp. 220-27〕〔Fred Hageneder, ''The Meaning of Trees: botany, history, healing, lore'' (2005:201).〕 although recent research into yew tree ages〔Harte 1996〕〔Kinmonth 2006〕 suggests that it is likely to be nearer the lower limit of 2,000 years. This still makes it one of the oldest known trees in Europe,〔("Wanted: Fat, old, gnarled trees" ) (28 June 2007) Telegraph.co.uk. Retrieved on 29 September 2007. "The Fortingall Yew near Callendar in Scotland - believed to be the oldest tree in the UK and possibly Europe."〕 although the root system of the Norway spruce Old Tjikko in Sweden is at least 9,500 years old. The Fortingall Yew is possibly the oldest tree in Britain.〔
