From what I can tell Yew seems like a much better option for wood production - it grows 1 stage per day same as Firs, needs less tile space, and provides 3 logs at max growth. Obviously no boughs but I can't imagine there is much demand for them.
Am I missing something?
They are fast growing and as you mentioned they have boughs. Those boughs can be crafted into tools just like a bracnh so its a matter of five extra branches per tree, for all practical purposes.
