Yew
Symbolic Tree
Yew trees are symbols of longevity and resurrection, often found in graveyards.
The yew in the cemetery has outlived many of the headstones around it.
Traditional Craft
Yew wood is historically used in archery to make longbows, a fact worth mentioning.
The archer preferred a bow made from yew for its superior strength.
Poisonous Berries
Despite its beauty, yew trees have toxic berries and needles, so handle with care.
We keep the children away from the yew because its berries are poisonous.
