Taxus baccata is a species of evergreen tree in the family Taxaceae, native to Western Europe, Central Europe and Southern Europe, as well as Northwest Africa, northern Iran, and Southwest Asia.[4] It is the tree originally known as yew, though with other related trees becoming known, it may be referred to as common yew,[5] European yew, or in North America English yew.[6] It is a woodland tree in its native range, and is also grown as an ornamental tree, hedge or topiary. The plant is poisonous, with toxins that can be absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, and transpiration through the skin.[7] Consuming any part of the tree, excluding the aril, can be deadly and the consumption of even a small amount of the foliage can result in death.[8][9][10][11]
