Many small Yew stems offered....any use?

[Squaredy]

I was contacted today by a nursery in Suffolk trying to sell a large number of small Yew stems.  They are not large enough for milling, but maybe would have a craft use of even fencing?  Sounds crazy but Yew is really durable so what an interesting fence this would make!!!

 

They are 12 to 15 feet tall so I guess the stems are 4 to 6 inches diameter, though I have not seen them myself.

 

If anyone is interested they will be wanting to sell large numbers not just a few - there are hundreds available apparently.

 

Sounds like their options are a bit limited but I thought I would put it out there in case anyone has a need.  If you want details PM me and I will let you have the phone number.

Are they free of knots?
Just thinking bow staves

Good idea.  I would imagine they will be riddled with knots as they are fairly young trees sadly.

Are these in Bures?

I'm thinking teepee poles or big tents.
