How to distinguish male and female yew plants

How to distinguish male and female yew plants

1. Look at the leaves

First we can distinguish it by observing its leaves. Usually the leaves of female plants appear straighter and denser, and they grow extremely fast, while the growth of male plants is relatively slow. In addition, you can also distinguish between male and female by the way the leaves grow. If the leaves grow in a ring shape, then it is a female yew plant. If it grows in two layers, then it is a male plant.

2. Flowers

1. Appearance

Both male and female yew plants can bloom. The flowers of male plants are spherical in shape, with short pedicels that are light yellow to straight brown in color, about 5 to 6 mm in length and 3 mm in diameter. There are 6 to 14 stamens on them, which are shield-shaped in shape, and each stamen has 4 to 9 anthers. The flowers of female plants are approximately spherical, without pedicels, and are about 5 to 6 mm in diameter.

2. Flower location

The flowers of male yew trees normally grow under the leaves and appear in clusters. The flowers of the female plant grow at the top of the flower axis, and the flowers are not close to each other. Secondly, we can also observe whether the flowers have stamens to distinguish them. If they do, they are male plants, and if they don’t, they are naturally female plants.
