A little bush with berries that remind me of the berries that come from the Yew tree.

    It reminds you of a yew because it is a yew.

  2. “plum” yew, *Cephalotaxus harringtonia,* to be exact

  3. Why are you thinking its not a yew, given that you know enough about one to recognize the fruit? 

  4. Yew! In the 50’s my parents were putting bushes in at their new house, when an elderly neighbor stopped by and asked what kind of bush is that?
    Dad answered proudly “ it’s a Yew” she looks at him and says “ well we buy ours brand new”! Lol

    The truth may surprise yew…

    There isn’t a clear delineation between what is a tree and what is a shrub, a plant can grow more tree-like or more shrub-like depending on the conditions, and characteristics can also be selected for in domestic varieties in order to create compact versions of woody plants for gardens and such

    I ate these berries one time during my rebellious years. I decided to google if I safely could. I saw 100 links and articles about how incredibly poisonous this is to eat. So I ran home and induced vomiting. I’m here to this day 😎

    I sucked on the juice as a child without knowing the seeds would poison me if I ate them.
