Getting rid of yew stumps - advice please
"Earnest Trawler" wrote in message ...
[...] I can't help reflecting that the oldest living tree in Europe may be an ancient yew in Scotland. I'd love to think a tree I planted might still be there in two or three thousand years' time. Mike. I know what you mean Mike. Two miles from me is an ancient yew tree estimated to be 1600 years old, every time I see it I imagine this little sapling sitting there as the last of the Roman legions packed up and left. Thanks, ET, for a beautiful mental movie, which I'll be running all day! In fact, several different movies: I've already been through ones with different weather, fiery wartime skies, miserably trudging legionaries, cheerful "We're out of here!" homeward-bound legionaries...all with this little seedling in the foreground. Mike. |
