Llangernyw Yew
The Llangernyw Yew is an ancient yew (''Taxus baccata'') in the village of Llangernyw, Conwy, North Wales. The tree is fragmented and its core part has been lost, leaving several enormous offshoots. The girth of the tree at the ground level is 10.75 m.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Llangernyw Yew )〕
==History==
This male yew tree lives in the churchyard of St. Dygain's Church in Llangernyw village. Although it is very hard to determine the age of yew trees,〔Harte 1996〕〔Kinmonth 2006〕 the churchyard gate holds a certificate from the Yew Tree Campaign in 2002, signed by David Bellamy, which states that "according to all the data we have to hand" the tree is dated to between 4,000 and 5,000 years old. There is an alternative theory that presumes the tree is only as old as the adjacent saint site which would make it around 1,500 years old.〔Bevan-Jones 2004, p. 49.〕
In the mid-1990s the church oil tank stood in the space between the two trunk fragments; however, this was moved when it was realised that the tree was ancient. When this tank was built a lot of the dead wood was removed from the site which makes ageing the tree more difficult for dendrochronologists. In June 2002 the Tree Council, in celebration of the Golden Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth II designated the Llangernyw Yew tree one of the Fifty Great British trees in recognition of its place in national heritage.
