Useful for bows and poison, as Vergil knew. I have the impression that the yew tree is more productive of English poetry than any other, including the oak (comma, hearts of, comma). These, for example.
"Is that a yew bush?" "No, thatsa my bush."
My thanks to anyone who can tell me where (if) that joke actually occurs in the canon.
