Unbe-leaf-able

One of Britain's oldest trees has changed sex after 3,000 years.

A 55ft (17m) yew beside St Meugan's church near Brecon, mid-Wales, has always produced small cones, a sign of being male; but last year it was growing red berries, indicating it is now female.

This could be a response to stress or a change in environment.
