AboutLeírás

Taxus baccata is a species of coniferous tree in the family Taxaceae. It is the tree originally known as yew, though to distinguish it from related species it is sometimes called common yew, European yew, or, in North America, English yew. It is a woodland tree in its native range, which spans much of Europe and parts of West Asia, the Caucasus and Northwest Africa. All parts of the plant except the fleshy aril are poisonous, with toxins that can be absorbed through inhalation, ingestion, and transpiration through the skin. The wood has been prized for making longbows and for musical instruments such as lutes. Yews are often grown as ornamental trees, hedges or topiaries, including in churchyards, where they sometimes reach great age; many explanations have been given for this planting, especially that the yew is associated with death, immortality, and rebirth. Some place names derive from the Proto-Celtic *eburos, but scholars disagree as to whether this meant the yew tree.

Ez a szócikk a növényről szól. A romániai települést lásd itt: Tiszafa (település). A közönséges tiszafa vagy tiszafenyő (Taxus baccata) a tiszafafélék (Taxaceae) családjában a névadó Taxus nemzetség legismertebb faja. Korábban egyszerűen tiszafának hívták, ám ahogy a nemzetség többi faja is ismertté vált, a „közönséges” előnevet kapta.
