A large isolated population of the rare tree species Taxus baccata has been identified in Foothill Daghestan. Features of the natural and climatic conditions and geographical coordinates of the location are noted, and the map of the species' current range in Daghestan is supplemented. An assessment of the population size and condition is provided, and the community species composition is listed. It is noted that Quercus robur is the dominant species in the broadleaf forest with yew; the herbaceous layer is mainly formed by forest non-morose species. In the studied community, the investigated yew individuals, based on crown biomorphological features, are grouped into three classes. Statistical parameters of the traits (tree height, trunk base diameter, crown diameter) were calculated separately for each class. The general condition of the trees in the studied population was assessed as satisfactory. It is assumed that the population is recovering from a ground fire, which particularly affected the undergrowth of all tree species; secondary forest restoration is underway. The study of Taxus baccata trees in this area will continue.
