My new book The Atlas of Deadly Plants is out this week, published by Greenfinch, so I thought I'd celebrate by offering up a series of mini-podcast episodes digging into some of the themes and facts from the book - just in time for Halloween!
In this part I'll be telling you a little about a tree that features in the book - Taxus baccata, the European yew: a source of poison and weaponry through history.
