Yes, yew are toxic!!!!! also stay away from cyprus and any ornamental pine! My goats love love love white pine.. eat that like candy!!! and despite how jaggy and sharp I think blue spruce are, well they devoured to stately trees from ground to about 4 feet up... oops.. sorry next house owners!!!! I miss my old place as it was surrounded by forest of white pine and several spruce.. never ever never had a worm problem!!!!

How timely! I was just reading some (conflicting at times) information on this very subject! My acreage has a good many pines (no cedars 
) and I was curious as to the forage potential of my woods and undergrowth. From the majority of what I've seen, potential problems only arise when pregnant does consume large portions, due to increased abortion risk. Since I have loads of pines, any more input on this topic is greatly appreciated!
