Plantado en Powis Castle alrededor de 1680 // Topiary. Planted circa 1680. Topiary is the horticultural practice of training live perennial plants, by clipping the foliage and twigs of trees, shrubs and subshrubs to develop and maintain clearly defined shapes,perhaps geometric or fanciful; and plants which have been shaped in this way. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topiary

So pretty! :)
Y como llegan fácil a los 1.000 años... Lástima que no estaremos en condiciones de visitarla.
Imagínate más de 300 años!
¡Menudo ejemplar!
UFF! Extraordinary...
Powis Castle is in Wales, UK. It's an extraordinary place.
I've also added more info and photos; one of the photos with people so that you can see the scale, and another with a graphic of the yew which was planted around 1680.
