Default Spreading Yew: Safe by Pond, Drinking Water Supply?

IT IS POISONOUS. it is just splitting hairs that the whole damn plant is poisonous
EXCEPT the red fruit surrounding the seed. they wanted to know if they should plant
it near the pond. without knowing for a fact that IF the fruit dropped into the
water and IF the fish ate the fruit would the seed would NOT get digested and NOT
kill the fish cause I dont know if anybody has done that experiment or not I
suggested dont put something that poisonous that close. Ingrid

No one asked about teaching people to eat or not to eat the seeds, the
question was whether or not the yew was toxic. Nice strawman agrument
though.
