Yew

The trunk of a substantial yew at Claremont. Much easier to snap than the tree as a whole. Last year's yew craze noticed, at least in part, at reference 1, has not completely died away.

Note the ability to sprout from the trunk. Our deciduous broadleaves can do this, but not usually so vigorously.
