1. How to distinguish male from female

1. Differences in leaves: The leaves of male yew trees are larger, more upright, relatively lighter in color, and slightly distributed. Sparse. The leaves of the female tree are somewhat different from those of the male tree. The leaves are shorter and thicker to the touch. The color looks darker and the growth is very densely distributed.

2. Difference between flowers: The male and female yews can be distinguished by their flowers. This is a relatively obvious method. The male flowers of yew are spherical in shape, with relatively large buds that look obvious. They have round buds inside and short peduncles underneath the flowers. The female flowers look smaller, nearly spherical in shape, not obvious, and have no flower stalks underneath. You can tell them this way after they bloom.

3. Difference in growth speed: growth of male trees The growth rate of the mother tree is relatively fast, but the growth rate of the mother tree is slower, but the difference is not obvious, and you need to compare the two to see it.
