There is no such thing as a yew pine. The yew tree (Taxus spp.) is an evergreen conifer that is native to Europe, Asia, and North America. It is not closely related to pines (Pinus spp.).
The term "yew pine" is sometimes used colloquially to refer to the red spruce (Picea rubens), which is a coniferous tree that is native to the eastern United States and Canada. The red spruce is found in West Virginia in the Allegheny Mountains, including the Yew Mountains.
If you are looking for a yew tree in West Virginia, you can find it at some botanical gardens and arboretums, such as the Kanawha Valley Arboretum in Charleston and the Glen Jean Nature Center in Glen Jean. You can also find yew trees for sale at some nurseries.
Please note that the yew tree is poisonous, so it is important to handle it with care. If you are considering using yew wood for carving or other projects, it is important to dry the wood thoroughly before working with it.
