Travelling the Carpathians. More about the Yew Tree

A lot of yew trees were used by local people for their own needs. There is evidence that at Gutsul land, once attached to the shingles huts yew pegs made ​​of yew wood crosses , etc. On the use of yew in the home is borne out words from a poem about Dzvinka opryshky Olexa Dovbusha :
"I have yew door, thieves do not break up."(В мене двері тисові, не злодіям до розлому).
Just because of our softwood, the Yew,  refers to the most slow-growing species, its wood supplies quickly ran out , a valuable tree began to disappear from our forests , despite the fact that the Yew can live up to 2-3 thousand years. 
It is therefore necessary to take account of all the known locus of yew, to ensure their absolute safety and at the same time develop forestry activities, ensuring renewal of this valuable tree species extinct.
