To tell you the truth, Yew trees are a pain to cut in F2P. It's not as efficient as it once was. Taking a look at the most well-known locations...

 

 

 

Draynor Forest: There are four trees within close vacinity of each other and they're all relatively close to a bank (Draynor's), but the autoers and the crowds of "real" woodcutters are sick. A single Yew tree won't last 30 seconds when you have 5 autoers and 4 players hacking at the same tree.

 

 

 

Varrock Castle: If I remember right, there's only two or so trees there but it's very close to a bank. However, the crowds of autoers here is even worse than the crowds in Draynor Forest. You're left standing around waiting for one of the trees to grow back for like 5 minutes...

 

 

 

Rimmington: The fact that this place is pretty isolated is good, but the distance from there to a bank is too far for it to be efficient. This is a good place to train woodcutting, but if you plan on banking the Yews to make some money it can take awhile. You don't necessarily have to worry too much about autoers either.

 

 

 

Outside Falador: Close to the Falador East Bank, but it seems that each time I walk past these trees by the Air Alter they're either chopped down or only autoers are cutting them. I suppose you could try using this method, but I haven't experimented with it enough to give a decent suggestion.

 

 

 

Edgeville: Extremely close to a bank! The only problem is that it's crowded in pretty much any world unless you get on at like midnight to do your Yew-choppin'.

 

 

 

My suggestion would be to alternate between Draynor Forest, Edgeville, and outside Falador. I suppose changing location may also keep you from getting bored with it so fast. Good luck and I hope this helped... even if it did just a little.
