Llangernyw Yew

Taxus baccata · Betws-y-Coed, Conwy, Wales · SH 875 674

In a small Conwy village the Llangernyw Yew has lost its core and lives on as enormous offshoots around an empty centre. A churchyard plaque once claimed 4,000–5,000 years. Whether or not that holds, it is one of the oldest organisms in Wales, and it almost certainly predates St Digain's church.

Girth at ground 10.75 m. Age claims are contested; the tree is fragmented, which inflates girth-based estimates.
