A total of 30,000 European yew tree (Taxus baccata) saplings are being cultivated by the Valencia government ‘to improve the Mediterranean forests’.
Regional councillor for the ecological transition, Isaura Navarro said it was the largest initiative to date to widen the habit of this tree in the region.
It is an extremely long-living tree, with reports of some specimens of up to 5,000 years old.
