You heard! (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

yew

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'you heard' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'you heard' is the wordplay.
'heard' shows a homophone (sound like).
'you' sounds like 'YEW'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for yew that I've seen before include "Evergreen tree with narrow dark-green leaves and red berries" , "This tree grows in churchyard" , "Evergreen tree with dark needles and red berries" , "Wood for archers" , "Coniferous tree" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
