Ironman verdict
At least 9 monsters drop it. The easiest is Jungle strykewyrm (level 93, 1/9,696); the best rate is Commander Zilyana (level 596), at 10/128, about 3.9 per kill. Other sources include Gnome Restaurant, Martin the Master Gardener, Master Farmer and Managing Miscellania, plus 4 more listed below. One recipe uses Yew seed: Yew seedling. Yew seed is members-only. It is tradeable on normal accounts, but an Ironman cannot use the Grand Exchange or trade for it, so the sources on this page are the whole list. High Alchemy turns one into 85 coins.
