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).


Why can't pacific yew trees provide a continuous supply of taxol?

Additionally, taxol extraction from the yew tree bark can be harmful to the trees themselves, further affecting the ability to provide a consistent supply.
