Tips

Francesc Garcia - MONTFRANC

September 27, 2022

The Teix del Fau (Taxus baccata) is a hundred-year-old specimen. The yew tree is a very slow-growing tree with millennial longevity. Characteristics: This specimen has a twisted trunk of a reddish color, it is about 2.60 m round and 8 meters high. The appearance of the tree is sudden and shows its velvety with a bark that is paraded. The diameter is 85 cm and the top, green and dense, is 7.50 m. Status: It is in a healthy state and, with so many years, its seeds have spread over the lap of the Fau, where many of its saplings are slowly growing. Suggestions: It should be borne in mind that both the roots and the leaves and branches contain a substance called taxine which is very poisonous.
