Unteriberg

Argent a yew tree Vert fructed Gules issuant from a mount of three coupeaux of the Second.
Christopher Southworth

(cf. Oberiberg).

"-iberg" comes from Ibrig, which in the local dialect means yew (German: Eibe).
In the past, yew was valued for its tough wood, which was used to make weapons.
