1、 Look at the leaves

First, we can distinguish it by observing its leaves. Generally, the leaves of female plants look straight and dense, and grow very fast, while the growth of male plants is relatively slow. In addition, male and female can also be distinguished by the way of leaf growth. If the leaf grows in a ring, it is a female yew. If it grows in two layers, it is a male plant

2、 Look at flowers

1. Shape

Both female and male Taxus can blossom. The flower shape of the male plant is similar to spherical, the pedicel is short, the color is light yellow and straight brown, the length is about 5 to 6 mm, the diameter is 3 mm, there are 6 to 14 stamens on it, the shape is similar to shield, and there are 4 to 9 anthers on each stamen. The female flowers are nearly spherical, without pedicels, and are about 5 to 6 mm in diameter

2. Flower position

The flowers of male yew normally grow under the leaves and look like clusters. The flowers of the female plant grow on the top of the flower axis, and the flowers are not close to each other. Secondly, we can also observe whether its flowers are distinguished by stamens. Some are male plants, while others are female plants
