The yew, a remarkable tree with a rich history, stands as one of Europe's oldest species. It possesses a unique set of characteristics, including being a "conifer without resin or cones" and exhibiting a remarkably low rate of photosynthesis. Despite these challenges, the yew thrives in environments where other plants struggle to survive. Its regenerative powers have long captivated humans, and it has been associated with concepts of life, death, the afterlife, and eternity since the Palaeolithic Era. Yew trees hold sacred significance in various cultural and religious traditions. They are found at sacred sites of Native Americans, Buddhists, Shinto shrines in Japan, and Christian churchyards, where they have become symbols of the Resurrection. This captivating cultural and natural history book, now available in paperback, delves into the latest scientific discoveries about this extraordinary tree. It provides a comprehensive exploration of its history, biology, and cultural significance, making it an essential read for anyone interested in trees, nature, and the profound connections between humanity and the natural world.
