Default Yews - brown's or hicks?

I bought a couple of small potted yews that were labeled "Brown's Yew".
These have red berries on them, which is one of the reasons they
appealed to me. However the information I have
googled up does not mention anything about Brown's yew having berries.
From the pics I've seen, mine look more like Hick's yew, which do have

berries. I think they were mislabled. I'm guessing that I need a
male to keep the berries coming, is this correct? Also, can I prune
them
now to make them more identical? I've transplanted them into pots
which will be kept on my front porch. Thanks for any help.
