The workmanship is top notch!! Love the yew too.

As said.. Once dug from the ground, the two of us could not lift it. That sealed the decision not to take it home.

Did you check the REST of the "renovation?" That's where some treasure could show up.
Shrubs, vines, etc.

Yeah. THis is one of those houses where they have managed to get rocks to propagate. A stone garden with 6 trees in a row. Yuk.

No interest whatsoever. I have one seedling ginkgo, of some 50 I had and gave the rest away. This was mainly of my interest because it was big. But too big, as it turned out

So.. The yew did not make it. That makes it one too many killed. 
I hate how I somehow seem to have problems collecting yews over 6inch diameter.
Yesterday a friend asked me whether I wanted a big yew.
Looked great so I got into the car. When I arrived they had pulled it out of the ground already. The perspective here is off. I did not realize it was a downward picture. This stump stands 4-5ft tall, base near 3ft wide. 2 persons was enough to move, not lift. I went home without it.

Wise to cut boring trunk down. Hope branches grow for you

What is the plan? I guess you will hollow the trunk and work it with dremel or something because it will never heal that cut not even in 300 hundred years xD
