Characteristic and wood color
Sapwood and heartwood are well separated. The sapwood is narrow and yellowish-white, while the heartwood is brownish, reddish brown, orange brown, sometimes mahogany or purplish. Older trees produce a very beautiful grained wood of orange-yellow colour with brown-red veins of different shades. The annual rings are very narrow and, depending on the growing area, both fine and coarse-waved, protruding through wide and deep dark late wood zones. The wood is therefore very decorative. Yew is one of the densest and heaviest woods in Europe and is similar in hardness to ash.
