The modern Irish name for Newry is An tIúr (pronounced [ənʲ ˈtʲuːɾˠ]), which means "the yew tree". An tIúr is a shortening of Iúr Cinn Trá, "yew tree at the head of the strand", which was formerly the most common Irish name for Newry. This relates to an apocryphal story that Saint Patrick planted a yew tree there in the 5th century.
One trunk of the Fortingall Yew. The tree's once massive trunk (52 ft or 16 m in girth when it was first recorded in writing, in 1769 [5]) with a former head of unknown original height, is split into several separate stems, giving the impression of several smaller trees, with loss of the heartwood rings that would establish its true age.

Scattered across the island are yew trees. The travel writer, H.V. Morton visited in the 1930s, and mentions: Inchclonaig [sic], the 'marsh isle' whose yew trees, it is said, were planted by Robert the Bruce for his archers. [6] It is also stated that King Robert used this supply to make bows before the fourteenth century Battle of Bannockburn.
The tree trunk and layering branches. The Ancient Tree Inventory records the Craigends Yew as tree number 31486. [4] Layering yews differ from the standard growth form in that their branches grow in a pendulous fashion and upon contacting the soil level they root, a process called 'layering' and they may also send up new vertical stems.
