Taxus baccata:
Characteristics:
Habit
Usually multi-stemmed, medium-sized tree, sometimes only large shrub; (3) 5-15 m tall, 5-10 m wide, broadly conical or ovoid, later domed or round crown; branches asymmetrical; diagonally or arching upright twigs nodding to pendent; branches to the ground; slow-growing, 10-30 cm a year.

broad ovoid, broad conical, irregular
broad ovoid, broad conical, irregular
Blossom
Dioecious, inconspicuous.
Leaves
Shiny dark green to black green needles, light pale green underneath, arranged in two lines, 2-3 cm long, more radial on the shoot tips.
Fruits
Red, fleshy arils, ca. 1 cm large, greenish seed inside.
Roots
Cordate to deep roots; intense, dense fibrous root system.
Demands
Sun to semi-shade, full shade tolerated but not favourable; tolerates warmth, usually frost hardy; tolerates urban environments, moderately wind resistant; good for cutting.
Soil
Moderately dry to moist, likes high humidity, slightly acidic to alkaline on all substrates except peat; if humidity, heat, and humus in the soil is high, the plants will probably suffer from fir-tree weevils.
Note
All parts of the yew are poisonous except for the red seed casing! Taxus baccata takes well to cutting into old age, even shooting from sawed off stumps; it can be trained well
