Identify a possible Pacific Yew #846216
Asked August 18, 2023, 12:30 AM EDT
Hi, I have a very slow growing small tree in my yard. I believe it is a Pacific Yew. It's about 8 ft tall and at least 17 years old. The trunk is probably only 3 inches in diameter. It has never produced a fruit or cone. What really confuses me, is that it loses its needles in the fall. I am attaching some pictures. Can you help me identify it? Thank you
