The Wallace Yew
- ... that the Wallace Yew (pictured) is said to have been planted by medieval Scottish independence leader William Wallace? "An historic tree thought to have been planted by Scottish hero Sir William Wallace 700 years ago" (Daily Record)
- ALT1:... that Renfrewshire Council cloned the Wallace Yew (pictured) as the historic tree was dying from a fungal infection? "An historic tree thought to have been planted by Scottish hero Sir William Wallace 700 years ago has been saved by Braveheart council chiefs – after they arranged to have it cloned ... Forward-thinking council bosses came to the rescue when they learned the ancient Wallace Yew in Elderslie was dying. Arrangements were made for 12 cuttings to be taken from the tree and experts have now managed to grow six of these into genetic clones of the original ... the weakened trunk was vulnerable to disease and subsequently caught the untreatable Ganoderma fungus – condemning the Yew to a death sentence."
