English yew (Taxus baccata) is more of a problem than our common yew but, never-the-less, it does cause serious effects. The toxic part for humans (foliage is toxic to livestock) is the seed. Apparently, the fleshy part of the fruit is not poisonous but if the seed is broken open and eaten it is dangerous.
