Field Notes

Description:

Dont try to eat me! One of the most poisonous berries around! The scarlet berries of yew contain a slightly sugary gloop surrounding the seed and which can be extracted by VERY GENTLY squeezing the berry. The inner brown-black seed is deadly poisonous and must not be eaten.
