Toxicity of the yew tree (Taxus baccata).
Hello,
I am researching the yew tree (considering to plant it in my garden) and found that sources conflict as to which is the most toxic part of the tree: needles or seeds? Could anyone provide some conclusive, reliable information to that? Thanks in advance! Jean-Luc |

Could anyone provide some conclusive, reliable information to that? hi, taxin (alcaloid) content in the seed about 0,16 %, in the needles (leaves) about 0,7 - 1,4 % and max. in winter up to 2 % (Deutsche Apotheker Zeitschrift 1937, p. 1265) I have also one in my garden, wonderful tree cheers kauhl (Lake Constance) |
