How long can yew tree live for?
Yew trees can live for thousands of years, with some specimens exceeding 2,000 years in age. They are known for their longevity and resilience, making them one of the longest-living tree species in the world.
Are yew trees deciduous?
No. Yew trees are coniferous. Coniferous trees have small, waxy and usually narrow leaves (needles or flat scales). 'Coniferous' means that it is a cone-bearing tree. The most common conifers are spruces, pines and firs. Alternative names used for coniferous trees are evergreens, softwoods and (appropriately enough) conifers. However, the name evergreen is not really a good synonym. Laurel, acacia and eucalyptus are also evergreens, and although not deciduous, they are not cone-bearing trees (they also definitely have leaves rather than needles).
