Taxus baccata, known as the English yew or European yew, is a slow-growing conifer native to Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. It is one of the longest-living trees in the world, with specimens exceeding 4,000 years. It produces dark green needle-like leaves arranged in two rows on the branches and seeds surrounded by a fleshy red aril. Almost all parts of the plant—leaves, bark, and seeds—contain highly toxic taxine alkaloids, fatal to humans, cats, dogs, and horses. Only the fleshy aril is edible, though the seed inside remains lethal. The yew is extremely valuable as a hedge and topiary shrub due to its tolerance for severe pruning and ability to grow in varied light conditions.
Japanese Yew
Taxus cuspidata
Taxus cuspidata, the Japanese yew, is a slow-to-moderate growing evergreen conifer native to Japan, Korea, northeastern China, and the Russian Far East. It typically appears as a dense shrub or small tree with flattened, dark green needles and reddish-brown, peeling bark. Female plants produce small, bright red, fleshy arils in fall - the only part of the entire plant that is not toxic. Every other tissue (bark, needles, and especially the seed inside the aril) contains taxine alkaloids that are severely toxic to humans, cats, dogs, and horses. Because of its extreme cold hardiness (USDA zones 4-7), dense evergreen habit, and excellent tolerance of pruning and shade, Japanese yew is one of the most widely planted hedge and foundation shrubs in temperate landscapes.
