Pacific Yew (Taxus brevifolia Nutt.) is a long lived conifer in the Yew family. It usually grows between 20-40 feet, occasionally up to 75, and 1-2 feet in diameter. The bark is reddish purple and flakes off in irregular, thin patches. Flowers bloom early summer, producing male and female cones on separate trees.
Baccata is Latin for bearing red berries. The word yew as it was originally used seems to refer to the color brown. The yew (Î¼Î¯Î»Î¿Ï) was known to Theophrastus, who noted its preference for mountain coolness and shade, its evergreen character and its slow growth.ll parts of a yew plant are toxic to humans with the exception of the yew berries (however, their seeds are toxic); additionally, male and monoecious yews in this genus release cytotoxic pollen, which can cause headaches, lethargy, aching joints, itching, and skin rashes; it is also a trigger for asthma.
