American yew and ground-hemlock. A sprawling evergreen shrub with bright red “berries”! Occurs in mature northern woodlands in the wild, so prefers shade and moist, rich soils. Easily propagated by cuttings. Fruit are notably poisonous to humans (and presumably dogs), but are enjoyed by a number of woodland birds such as wood thrush and waxwings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis species is vulnerable to over-browsing by deer, is intolerant of full sun and drought, and may be sensitive to hot summers.

Commonly browsed by mammals, especially deer. Vulnerable to over-browsing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eNotes: The iconic yew “berries” are actually modified cones! The plant produces bright red flesh in place of the scales of a cone to attract birds, who disperse the seeds. Wild populations are on the decline due to habitat loss, climate change, and over-browsing by deer. Small and southerly populations, like those in Indiana, are particularly vulnerable to local extirpation.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/4574\/8630\/files\/IMG_9134_d0954cef-b288-4a5d-a218-54840bcfa761.png?v=1755040042\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0463\/4574\/8630\/files\/IMG_9135_f3320e72-e56f-449f-a173-b533d25fb12a.jpg?v=1755040042\" alt=\"\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Woody Warehouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48674219622649,"sku":null,"price":35.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/3173\/9129\/files\/IMG_9136_663994e4-8bd7-4bc0-9dba-8c2c5bd71274.jpg?v=1784247084","url":"https:\/\/lecomense.com\/products\/canada-yew-taxus-canadensis","provider":"Lecomense","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
