The yew is associated with both death and eternal life: it's poisonous, yet it lives for thousands of years. Eihwaz stands for endurance, deep change and the strength to hold steady through a transformation.
Reversed (merkstave): This rune looks the same either way up, so it has no reversed meaning.
