Pacific yew is a resilient evergreen displaying flat, dark green needles that have a short, broad appearance. Its stature is quite variable, typically ranging from 6 to 12 feet in height (1.8 to 3.6 meters) and spreading about 3 to 6 feet wide (0.9 to 1.8 meters) when mature. The plant's leaves radiate around the stem, providing a lush, dense coverage. The bark is rough and scaly, and the plant often produces conspicuous, red berry-like structures that contain a single, hard seed.
