With regards to a yew in the churchyard of St Nicholas' church in Brockenhurst, this website says that: "The Yew was carbon dated in the mid 1980's and a certificate stating that it is over 1,000 years old will be found on the wall by the font." Has anyone heard of carbon dating being used on other ancient trees? Furthermore, what do they actually do (since you can't date the living tissue)?
