Yew
fruit are brightly coloured so that animals,
mainly birds, will eat them and help disperse the seeds
inside. There is a problem though the seeds are poisonous.
Birds will spit out the seeds when they are eating the fruit and, with
luck, the seeds will germinate to start off a new tree.
I have found several yew saplings (young trees) growing underneath a sycamore
tree that pigeons like to roost in. Yews are evergreen,
keeping their leaves all year around. Their leaves are narrow and pointed
like those of conifers.
