Yes, only the red aril is to be eaten. The rest of the tree can kill you. The seed in the middle of the aril is poisonous. The Bark, leaves, roots, seeds, and wood and the dead foilage off of the Yew can kill you. Don't make any herbal remedies or tea out of this plant the plant will kill you. If you eat the arils (The red fleshy cup like things, Remove the seed in the middle with your fingers and try not to damage the seed or eat the seed.) If you eat the seed you will die. The poison alkaliod is Taxol.
