Somehow from youth I had the impression that yew trees grew native to
England and where huge tall trees. But according to this capitata, yew
trees are not tall. And if yew trees are native to England then it
seems as though they would need alot of water, not standing water but
alot of rainfall.
1) Yew (Taxus baccata) is native to England.
2) Huge in the context of yews means the diameter of the bole. (Girths
of 9 to 10 m, but heights of 10 to 25m; figures taken from Mitchell.)
3) Not all of England has high rainfall.
4) And it is not necessarily the case that all species (or varieties) of
a genus require the same conditions.
