The Chinese yew is often called the "panda of the plant world", a "living fossil,” and "botanical gold." Highly sensitive to its environment, it is listed as a first-class nationally protected plant in China.
In 2022, a wild Chinese yew forest was discovered deep in the mountains of Huichang County, Jiangxi Province. The site is home to more than 3,000 trees, including specimens over 1,200 years old. The presence of this rare plant community reflects the area's well-preserved ecological conditions.
