Did You Know?

Yew trees have a fascinating defence system! While the leaves and seeds are toxic, the bright red berries are safe for birds. Birds eat the berries, spreading the seeds far away in their droppings. This way, the harmful parts stay attached to the tree, allowing it to photosynthesise and thrive, while the seeds have an excellent chance of germinating in new locations.
