What are the varieties of yew

Pacific Yew

The Pacific yew grows on the west coast of the United States, right along the Pacific Ocean. Its leaves are relatively short, so it is also called short-leaved yew. Paclitaxel can be extracted from Pacific yew, which is very helpful in fighting cancer.

Taxus chinensis

The leaves of the southern yew are relatively wide and long, needle-shaped, wider in the middle and narrower and more pointed at both ends. The seeds of Taxus chinensis are obovate.

Chinese yew

The leaves of Chinese yew are relatively short, with slightly curled tips, and the seeds are also obovate.

Taxus cuspidata

The arrangement of the leaves of the Northeast red bean is very irregular, and because of the asymmetry, it looks messy.

Florida Yew

The Florida yew originally grew in Florida, USA. The plant can reach four meters in height. The seeds of the Florida yew are poisonous and can be fatal to humans and animals if accidentally ingested. However, anti-cancer drugs can be extracted from this tree.

Taxus chinensis

The Araucaria yew is distributed in Taiwan, my country, so it is also called Taiwan yew. The Araucaria yew likes to grow in relatively cool and humid places. It is a very rare species. The plant contains paclitaxel, which can fight cancer. It is a protected tree species.

Taxus tibetica

The leaves of Tibetan yew are arranged very symmetrically and neatly. The leaves do not overlap with each other. There are small protruding dots on the midrib of the branches and stems. The seeds of Tibetan yew are oval.

Taxus yunnanensis

The leaves of Taxus yunnanensis are relatively large, thin in texture, and strip-lanceolate in shape. The tips of the leaves will gradually curl as they grow, and the color of the leaves will darken as they dry.
