Almost all the parts of the yew tree are poisonous.

[Hence its frequent presence in graveyards, to discourage casual grazing!!]

Wooden bowls or forks/spoons made from this tree should not be used for table use. It is however a beautiful, decorative, very hard wood. Not suitable for sawn planks in general. Has been used for hand weapons, and for places where abuse is possible, such as tools, posts.

An evergreen coniferous tree. It belongs to the genus Taxus, and in recent years, Taxol derived from some species is used as a cancer-fighting agent.
