Hello guys. The topic I posted now is on yew Tree leaves. If you have a yew Tree as a bonsai then you are lucky as they live long. But unlucky in the sense that 1 or 2 leaves can give you diarrhoea, vomiting, nasea and muscle weakness. But more than 10 or so of the leaves can kill you. But they do make good bonsai. The reason they can do these things is that they have alkaloids taxine A and taxine b. Just a warning if you have one.

Happy bonsai-ING.

Ps sorry if I scared you as my friend wanted to get rid of his.

True, but if you prune and get some of the sap or juice on your hands and eat with your hands or pick them (some how) you will get it in your system. There can be many more scenarios.
