Is this a Yew tree? I know they can grow very large and very old and are traditionally planted in graveyards. Here, I quote:
"In Wales, the yew is the symbol of the immortality of the soul, and this comes from pre-Christian beliefs and customs of the Celt druids. Yews were planted around pagan temples much before the Christian times, being later adopted by the Church as a "holly symbol". Still today, yews are planted in British graveyards."
It's a wonderful specimen, MFJ.

Perhaps with a new President America will stop atrocities like these, but then again perhaps not.
It looks like a Banyan tree and such trees are seen
around the temples here in India.
Nice work.

Wow Jo, this is one really big tree. Your capture has fabulous detail, colour & clarity. That would be a great climbing tree, lol.

What a beautiful tree Yew have captured Jo. I like how it almost blots out the cemetery but you can still some of the head stones. Excellent post.
