In 1939 the German Dendrological Society (DDG) went on an excursion to the palace gardens. The report says: “In Riede [...] there were rustic trees. The yew tree on the farm building had a straight shaft 2 ½ m high with a circumference of 285 cm and a magnificent screen 10 m high, [...] ”. The age of the tree was estimated at "900 years". Today, the yew tree in the Riede Castle Park is one of the trees for which the age was not only estimated, but scientifically determined (see List of Natural Monuments in the Kassel District # Age-Determined Trees ). An examination in 2005 found it to be around 350 years old. Today this tree is the oldest in the Riede Castle Park and one of the mightiest and therefore oldest examples of yew trees in Germany.
