In Norse mythology Yggdrasil is the world tree. Yggdrasil is evergreen, it has branches that stretch over all the world and it has roots that go all the way down to the deepest places. Many mysterious things make Yggdrasil their home. Opinion is divided on whether Yggdrasil is supposed to be an ash or a yew
The colour is a rich woodland green a little on the cold side inspired by the pines of a yewtree
An ash I know,
Yggdrasil its name,
With water white
is the great tree wet;
Thence come the dews
that fall in the dales,
Green by Urth's well
does it ever grow.
Völuspá
