The Florencecourt Yew is a specimen of yew (Taxus baccata) growing in County Fermanagh, Northern Ireland. This single tree is the source of most ornamental yews referred to as "Irish yew". In 1740, a local farmer, George Willis retrieved a pair of yew saplings from the slopes of Cuilcagh mountain near Florencecourt, County Fermanagh. The trees found on the mountain had an unusual vertical style or fastigiated character compared to the typical common yew of Britain and Europe. One sapling was presented to his landlord, William Willoughby Cole (later 1st Earl of Enniskillen) who had it planted on his estate at Florence Court. The other was planted in his own garden where it survived until 1865.
