Yew

The yew tree was a perennial plant that could be found throughout Faerûn.

Varieties
Yew trees came in varied types. Some yews appeared to be deep red in color, particularly the unique magical yews of Evermeet.

Uses
The wood of yew trees was used to make several items, particularly bows, wands, and staves. Staves of peace were almost always made of yew, and druids usually prefered wands made of yew or other speciality wood. They were also used for non-combat items, such as sturdy fishing rods.

Locations
The road leading away from Ring Park in the Foreign District of Ravens Bluff was lined with yew trees.
