They may grow up to 20 meters high, but the Florida Torreya is critically endangered. They're known as the stinking yew because it gives off a turpentine odor when crushed. Not a reason for them to lose their habitat. The Torreya has seen a 98% decline in the last 3 generations. Fewer than 600 individual trees remain.
