Yet no ash tree in the world keeps its leaves in winter. This contradiction has intrigued philologists since the 19th century, and several, from Sophus Bugge to Anders Hultgård, have proposed that the original tree may have been a yew: the yew is the only large conifer native to Scandinavia, it is evergreen, it lives for more than a thousand years, and its Old Norse name, \u003ci\u003eýr\u003c\/i\u003e, is close enough that a confusion could have arisen.
