Yew tree berried seeds are poisonous

As the climate warms in the UK yew trees and plants ( taxus baccata ) seem to be producing more fruit and seed as berry seeds.
The seeds are contained within a red fleshy coating and according to several accounts this part of the fruit tastes similar to strawberries, Only growing on female trees the outer coating is edible but the seed itself found inside the edible coating is highly poisonous to humans and livestock.
Although many wild animals and birds such as badgers and blackbirds can eat the fruit and seed, the seed passes through them without causing them any harm.
However, if you have children playing or using your garden and you have female yew trees or hedges created from yew which produce the seed it is worth taking some precautions such as educating the children and removing the seeds by hand in the autumn from lower branches or in hedges.
