i read in newsgroup that you can propogate yew trees by 'layering' shoots
under the soil. the other day in a park i saw some red berries on a
yew. could i pick those and plant them? should i wait for them to drop to
the ground first? thanks.



I did that once. While walking around Chatsworth house park I noticed some
nice ripe yew berries within reach on a branch, so "confiscated"


Stole.
