The dark green seeds of the yew tree develop first followed by the red flesh which almost surrounds them. Yew ranks high among the world's oldest trees. Notable examples include the Llangernyw Yew and the Fortingall Yew.

Great picture and close up. Although the notion that plentiful berries being a sign of a harsh winter to come is a myth (it's a sign of a good previous spring,) I have noticed a profusion of berries this year and my yew, having been bereft of berries for a couple of years is full at the moment.

A lovely combination of the vivid red of the berries set against the peaceful hues of green in the foilage. Lovely image.
Gorgeous specimen. Those berries sure do look tempting, huh? wouldn't want to eat one, tho!
Love the contrasting colors. Add some snow, and it will be Christmas!
