 Toxicity of the yew tree (Taxus baccata). Hello, I am researching the yew tree (considering to plant it in my garden) and found that sources conflict as to which is the most toxic part of the tree: needles or seeds? Could anyone provide some conclusive, reliable information to that? Thanks in advance! Jean-Luc  |
