Taxus baccata<\/em>\u00a0is a\u00a0conifer<\/a>\u00a0native to western, central and southern\u00a0Europe<\/a>, northwest\u00a0Africa<\/a>, northern\u00a0Iran<\/a>\u00a0and southwest\u00a0Asia<\/a>.[1]<\/a>
\n<\/sup>It is the tree originally known as yew<\/strong>, though with other related trees becoming known, it may now be known as\u00a0English yew<\/strong>, or\u00a0European yew<\/strong>.
\nIt is a small- to medium-sized evergreen\u00a0tree<\/a>, growing 10\u201320 metres (33\u201366\u00a0ft) (exceptionally up to 28 metres (92\u00a0ft) ) tall, with a trunk up to 2 metres (6\u00a0ft\u00a07\u00a0in) (exceptionally 4 metres (13\u00a0ft)) diameter. The\u00a0bark<\/a>\u00a0is thin, scaly brown, coming off in small flakes aligned with the stem. The\u00a0leaves<\/a>\u00a0are\u00a0lanceolate<\/a>, flat, dark green, 1\u20134 centimetres (0.39\u20131.6\u00a0in) long and 2\u20133 millimetres (0.079\u20130.12\u00a0in) broad, arranged spirally on the stem, but with the leaf bases twisted to align the leaves in two flat rows either side of the stem, except on erect leading shoots where the spiral arrangement is more obvious. The leaves are highly poisonous.[1]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a>
\n<\/sup>The seed cones<\/a>\u00a0are highly modified, each cone containing a single\u00a0seed<\/a>\u00a04\u20137 millimetres (0.16\u20130.28\u00a0in) long partly surrounded by a modified scale which develops into a soft, bright red\u00a0berry<\/a>-like structure called an\u00a0aril<\/a>, 8\u201315 millimetres (0.31\u20130.59\u00a0in) long and wide and open at the end. The arils are mature 6 to 9 months after pollination, and with the seed contained are eaten by\u00a0thrushes<\/a>,\u00a0waxwings<\/a>\u00a0and other\u00a0birds<\/a>, which disperse the hard seeds undamaged in their droppings; maturation of the arils is spread over 2 to 3 months, increasing the chances of successful seed dispersal. The seeds themselves are extremely poisonous and bitter, but are opened and eaten by some bird species including\u00a0Hawfinches<\/a>[5]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0Greenfinches<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Great Tits<\/a>.[6]<\/a><\/sup>\u00a0The aril is not poisonous, and is gelatinous and very sweet tasting. The male cones are globose, 3\u20136 millimetres (0.12\u20130.24\u00a0in) diameter, and shed their\u00a0pollen<\/a>\u00a0in early spring. It is mostly\u00a0dioecious<\/a>, but occasional individuals can be variably\u00a0monoecious<\/a>, or change sex with time.[1]<\/a><\/sup>[4]<\/a><\/sup>[7]<\/a>
