You heard! (3)

I believe the answer is:
yew
'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" .)
