1、 How to divide male and female

1. Leaf difference: the leaves of yew male trees are larger, more upright, relatively light in color and sparse in distribution. The leaves of the mother tree are different from those of the male tree. The leaves are short and small, feel thicker, look darker, and grow densely

2. Flower difference: yew can distinguish male and female by flowers, which is an obvious method. The male flowers of yew are spherical, with large flower buds, which also look obvious. There are round flower buds inside, and there are relatively short pedicels under the flowers. The female flower looks small, nearly spherical in shape, not obvious, and there is no pedicel at the bottom. After flowering, it can be distinguished by this method

3. Difference in growth rate: the growth rate of male trees is faster than that of female trees, but the difference is not obvious, which can be seen only by comparing the two

4. Result difference: the male tree will only blossom, but will not bear fruit. The mother tree can bear fruit after pollination by the male tree

2、 Which is better

There is no better male or female tree of yew. You can buy it according to your own preferences. If you want to have no fruit, you can buy a male tree. If you want the result to look happy, you can buy a mother tree. It is best to plant two kinds of trees together, otherwise it is difficult for the mother tree to bear fruit without pollination
