Flora of Cornwall (1999)

The descriptive text, below the map, is from the Flora of Cornwall (1999), which was a Tetrad Atlas (the maps had 2km square dots or Tetrads). The map on this web page depicts the plant's distribution at the 1km square scale and shows the records made pre-2000 which were used in the 1999 Flora and those made since.

Taxus baccata - Yew



Yew has been much planted in churchyards and sometimes in hedges elsewhere. Seedlings have become established in a few places, such as one growing from a Convent wall in Redruth (SW64V, 1985, C.N.French), on Trewoon Moor (SW95W, 1997, I.J.Bennallick) and at Landulph (SX46F, 1998, M.Atkinson).
