Whilst I am new to bonsai I am not new to trees, especially my native species. I may be wrong but I'm almost positive that konlabos is correct. This is an iconic tree that is very much tied into my nations history as it was used to make the English longbow.

Also, be aware that almost every part of this tree (if we're right with our identification) is toxic. Less than 100g of green matter will kill if eaten.

Depending on wherre you are .. IF however you call this nursery stock.. ASK THE NURSERY what it is. Yew could be, however, I know some of the American local species look lots like yew.
Yeah, hm. How often do you eat your clippings?

I have a young toddler who likes to put things in his mouth. Common sense to be aware of such things.
