[FR] Deux beaux spécimens sempervirents à port columnaire, dont le fruit composé d’une seule graine englobée dans un arille rouge, est toxique. Son bois est dur, compact, utilisé en marqueterie. Beaucoup d’ifs disparurent après la guerre de Cent ans car ils servaient à la fabrication des arcs. L’if est devenu rare à l’état naturel. Il est utilisé dans les parcs en art topiaire.
On en extrait actuellement les taxanes qui sont des anticancéreux
