This is one of the best examples in Britain of a Golden Irish Yew, with neat turrets of eye-catching bronzy-yellow foliage and crimson berries only carried by females.
Golden Irish Yew
This Golden Irish Yew
is a huge, radiant deviation
that needs extra care to survive.
Looking from the outside,
you’re offered a tightly glowing wall,
but step through to the inside
and the whole park fades away.
Dark branches knit a cosmos
of wily dancing twists,
and you’re captured
by the loving tangled heart
of this magnificent Yew-niverse.
