[FR] Arbre sempervirent à port conique élargi, à croissance très lente. C’est le seul conifère sans résine et sans cône. 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.
