When raising yew at home, we all know that it is beautiful, but did you know that it is male and female? Do you know how to tell whether it is male or female? First of all, we can distinguish it by the leaves: the leaves of the female plant are straighter, denser, grow in a ring, and the growth rate is faster, while the male plant grows in two layers and the growth rate is slower; secondly, we can distinguish it by the flowers: the male plant has two layers of leaves. The flowers of the male plant have pedicels and stamens, but those of the female plant do not. The flowers of the male plant grow below the leaves, while those of the female plant grow on the top of the flower axis.
