In the summer, it's difficult to see the individual trees when looking out across a tree line due to the overwhelming shades of green. But in the fall, trees are going through their process of getting ready to survive the cold Wisconsin winter, making it easier to identify specific trees and pinpoint the location of some spectacular examples!

Canada Yew, also called American Yew and Ground Hemlock, is very similar in appearance to English Yew but is shorter (less than 2 meters tall) at maturity, less dense, and has a spreading often almost prostrate habit. One shrub may form a small colony over time and many shrubs can form a large colony. The fruit is a red aril, typical of other yews.
