Gardener and 100-year-old pruned yew tree (Taxus baccata) at Ellinge Castle, Skåne, Sweden, 1927, by Mårten Sjöbeck, via Swedish National Heritage Board Commons on flickr.

The castle still exists as a conference and events center. There are two shapes on the Google satellite map that could be the same yew.

Vintage landscape: oh, that old thing. . .
