<br>
*Encyclopedia of Signs, Omens, and Superstitions/Zolar
<br>
Tradition holds that anyone who dares pull a branch from a yew tree will die within the next twelve months. Yews are said symbolic of immortality and,
therefore, were often used in the construction of churches for their ability to resist rotting. Since yews were often planted in churchyards and were
associated with the dead, it is generally held unlucky to bring their branches indoors. Curious is the tradition that... ]]></description>

The sycamore has thin, grayish white bark and large leaves. It is found in low lying areas, near streams or where water flows or gathers. It likes to soak its
