Britain's oldest tree, the #FortingallYew, is 'undergoing a sex change' https://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home-news/britain-s-oldest-tree-the-fortingall-yew-is-undergoing-a-sex-change-a6717796.html

"#Perthshire’s Fortingall #Yew, estimated to be around 5,000 years old (older than #Stonehenge), is considered male as it produces pollen, as opposed to female yews which bear seed-holding berries. However... 3 ripe red berries were spotted on one of the ancient yew’s branches this year, suggesting at least part of the #tree had become female... many other #conifers have been observed to switch sex"
