    Are you going to let us make investments into these yew trees, as they will surely grow in value? You could set up a hedge fund.

      Those planted on ancient religious sites seem to do best.

              My work crew arrive tomorrow to plant the hedges. Any tips in the meantime for keeping the trees a healthy as possible?
              You need a hedge-fund manager.

                  Just be careful with pets around them, and wash you hands after handling them.

                    Yes, I've heard the effects can be more taxine than HMRC. We've only got a cat, and they tend to avoid yew. We'll keep my grandson well away. Apparently yew berry jam is quite tasty. Just remember to remove the seeds.
