Little Yew

Two days ago I found this posting on Craigslist NYC. The tree was growing in a Brooklyn back yard and needed to be removed.

Free little PINE TREE
You can have this little conifer for free! But you have to help me dig it out. It has grown too big for my backyard. I've seen this variety used in hedges, and I've also seen them growing freely and reaching heights of 40 feet and maybe more. This one is only 7 feet tall. Bring a strong bag for the roots. Today, with the help of a friend, we dug it and moved it to a location where we hope it will thrive for many years. —John
