1. Leaf difference: The leaves of the male yew tree are larger, more upright, relatively light in color, and somewhat sparse in distribution.The leaves of the mother tree are somewhat different from those of the male tree, the leaves are shorter, thicker to the touch, darker in color, and densely distributed.
2, flower distinction: Taxus can distinguish male and female through flowers, which is a more obvious method.The male flower of yew is spherical, the bud is relatively large, and it looks obvious, with a round bud inside, and a short peduncle below the flower.The female flower looks smaller, subglobose in shape, inconspicuous, and has no pedicel underneath.After flowering, it can be distinguished by this method.
3. Difference in growth rate: The growth rate of the male tree is faster than that of the female tree, but the difference is not obvious. It can be seen by comparing the two.
4. Fruit difference: The male tree can only blossom, but can't bear fruit. After the female tree is pollinated by the male tree, it can bear fruit.
