Tree, evergreen conifer
Origin: coastal regions from British Columbia to Washington

Notes: The Pacific Yew grows best in the shade of other trees or in shaded places, like coves. It grows on deep soils, both moist/rich or rocky/gravely. It is often found as underwood species in forests of Ponderosa Pine, Giant Fir, and Western Larch. It is a poisonous tree, but it is used to extract Taxol, a very important component for medical compounds.
