How does the tree winter?

Taxus is a general term for plants of the genus Taxus. There are about 11 species of this genus, and there are 4 species and 1 variety in China, which are mainly distributed in various regions of the Northern Hemisphere. We generally say that the yew is a Chinese yew tree species, which is distributed in the north and south of our country, so how does the yew survive the winter?

First, how does the yew survive the winter

Taxus chinensis var. mairei is suitable for planting in the north and south of China, and it has the characteristics of shade-loving, drought-tolerant and cold-resistant. The soil pH value is required to be between 5.5 and 7.0. The environment is shady and can grow under dense forests. It is perennial but not a forest. It is more common in the coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest dominated by Korean pine. Born on stony or barren soil on the top of the mountain, most of them are shrubby.

Taxus mairei can withstand the low temperature of-11 ℃ and can survive the winter outdoors in the south. Taxus mairei can withstand the low temperature of-25 ℃ and can survive the winter in open field in North China. Taxus cuspidata can endure the low temperature of-42 ℃ and can survive the winter outdoors all over the country. Taxus yunnanensis can also survive the winter in the open field in the south. Indoor maintenance, and normal maintenance is not much different, pay attention to increase air humidity, avoid soil dryness, do not face the air conditioning hot air directly.

Second, Chinese yew varieties

There are mainly five varieties and some other hybrid varieties of Taxus mairei in China. the main five varieties are Yunnan Taxus, Xizang Taxus, Taxus cuspidata, Taxus chinensis and Taxus chinensis var. mairei. Taxus mairei mentioned above is a hybrid variety of Taxus mairei and Taxus mairei.

Taxus mairei is a first-class protected tree species in China, and it is a relatively precious medicinal material. This plant is of great benefit to the body, and even has a certain therapeutic effect on some cancers. It can enhance the body's resistance and immunity to a certain extent. Taxus has been on the earth for 2.5 million years, but because of its slow growth rate and poor regeneration ability under natural conditions, a large-scale yew raw material forest base has not been formed in the world for a long time. This plant is worth protecting.

The above is some related knowledge about the yew. The yew has strong cold tolerance and does not need to be taken care of. It can be said that it is a very good tree species to be maintained.
