Taxus baccata

Hallo,

I was asking to give information about yew's cuttings.
I have already found many advises and tips (books, experienced gardeners, ecc).
What now I know is yew cuttings are basically propagated like all the other conifers, via semi-ripe woods and go very well by heel cuttings.

Anyway I still have doubts about the time of the year taking cuttings. (This is my first question)
Then I am also starting write a brief and facetious treatise about yew (don't worry, in Italian!) and I ask you please to send me any curiosities and anecdotes about this plant, if you have ones. (Second question)

Thanks,
Giulio.
