Check out Oldbow's log to see the bark, here is the link.

The twigs are evergreen like a fir but only about an inch long and a slight brown tint when spotting against other evergreens. Red polyp fruit certain times a year, long sgragly branches. but the bark is the dead certain indicator

A good idea when searching for images of a tree species is to get its latin name.
Then google the latin name and you end up with more hits
"Taxus baccata" is the european one and i think "taxus brevifolia" is the pacific one.
