【Yew Tree】 As its name suggests, the yew tree was planted with the wish for success in academics and business, becoming "number one" (ichi-i). It has long been cherished as a lucky tree. The name is said to originate from an anecdote where Emperor Nintoku was so impressed by a ladle (shaku) made from this wood that he bestowed the highest rank of "Shoichii" (literally "first rank") upon it.

The yew tree, meaning "number one," is known as an auspicious tree planted to wish for success or celebrate achieving the top position in academics or business. It's also seen as a symbol of longevity and immortality, often planted in the grounds of shrines and temples and used in ceremonies. (Information from online search)
