korbel

Updated: June 22, 2025

Splendid staves have been shipped to me from this latter county, coming from the neighborhood of Korbel. Yew is an evergreen tree with a leaf looking a great deal like that of redwood, hemlock, or fir at a distance. It is found growing in the mountains, down narrow canyons, and along streams. It likes shade, water, and altitude. Its bark is reddish beneath and scaly or fuzzy on the surface.
