Abstract
Cross-sectional slices were removed from the stumps of previously felled yew trees in an area of the gardens at Chiswick House known as The Arcade. These proved to be highly variable in both cross-sectional dimensions and minimum likely ages. Ring counts proved difficult due to the presence of exceptionally narrow rings as well as problems associated with multiple rings merging into one at places around the circumference. Although attempts were made at measuring the ring sequences no cross-matching was possible between the trees further emphasising the difficult nature of this material. It is however possible to suggest that several of the larger trees appear to be of early eighteenth century origin.
