I came across this very odd pond in a forest.
An ancient tree in Scotland has appeared to have undergone a sex change in one section.
The Royal Botanic Garden in Edinburgh is reporting that the famed Fortingall Yew, which is possibly up to 5,000 years old, has sprouted a female branch in the outer crown despite being otherwise male in gender.
A staff member, Dr. Max Coleman, explains,
“Yew trees are male or female usually and it is pretty easy to spot
which is which in autumn – males have tiny things that produce pollen
and females have bright red berries from autumn into winter.”
Despite previous known accounts of gender changes, they are still considered rare, which is why Coleman was surprised to find berries growing on the Fortingall Yew last month.
