Summary: There are many trees mentioned in Shakespeare's plays.

Henry’s archers take up their bows of yew
To fight for king, and country and their saint
At Agincourt they fire their arrows true
And win a victory that none may taint
Sad Ophelia will fall from willow
And end her life in silent flowing pool
For only earth will be her final pillow
Her resting place where once was found a fool
Macbeth believed he could not be o’ertook
Till men bore branches chopped from Birnam wood
The mighty king was shaken when a look
Showed the soldiers who at Dunsinane stood
And thus Shakespeare made use of Britain’s trees
Which flourished all round meadows and round leas
