Fun fact about our calendar's tree of the month: the yew (Taxus baccata) is often associated with churchyards. There are at least 500 churchyards in England containing yew trees older than the buildings themselves.

Our calendar's tree of the month in December is the Yew (Taxus baccata). One of Europe's longest-lived native species, yew is often associated with death and doom, perhaps because all parts of the tree are poisonous.

A slightly dark and atmospheric photograph of a natural archway or tunnel formed by the gnarled, intertwining branches of old trees, possibly yews. The path below is a dirt track leading into the distance, with a bright, sunlit patch of grass visible to the left. The scene evokes a feeling of mystery and ancient nature.

🎄 Taxol (paclitaxel) was supposedly discovered in #fungi that grow #endobiotically in #yewtrees, leading to a confusing flood of publications emerged that claimed to have detected #Taxol in more and more #eukaryotic and even #prokaryotic species.

If ever trees looked like menacing, prancing humans!
