It's just appeared at the weedy end of my garden!

Looks like a fern of some kind?

That looks like a yew to me

Probably just a cutting that's blown into your garden and set up root

Looks like some kind of baby pine tree 🌲

It's a self-sown yew. The berry would have been eaten by a bird, and the seed inside passed right through and pooed onto your garden. 😂

You can prune them and turn them into topiary if you want.

Ooh amazing, thanks all.

I shall cultivate it and see what happens!

Nice body of folklore attached to yew trees (like rowan trees) which always makes them good to find.

They can live to be over 900 years old.

It’s a Yew seedling :)

Yew. Berries are highly toxic so if you have young children I'd remove it, otherwise enjoy it for many, many years!

Yew is dioecious so separate male and female plants, so to get berries you’d need a female plant and you’d need a nearby male plant.
