Analysis of Taxus Cultivation Techniques and Market Prospects
Taxus, also known as yew, is also called red cypress pine. It is a shallow-rooted plant, with an indistinct taproot and well-developed lateral roots. It is globally recognized as a rare natural anti-cancer plant on the verge of extinction. There are 11 species of Taxus worldwide, and Chinese yew (Taxus chinensis) is suitable for cultivation in our area; it is a high-value plant with multiple functions including medicinal and ornamental uses. Seedling production through cloning technology has now been successful, but reports on cultivation techniques are rare, so on the basis of conventional cultivation, emphasis should be placed on the control of soil-dwelling pests and the prevention of root rot.
