Asia's largest Taxus chinensis found in SW China county(1/4)

Photo taken on October 26, 2014 shows a 2,000-year-old Taxus chinensis in Cengong county, Southwest China's Guizhou province. With its trunk circumference reaching 5.85 meters, the tree represents the largest living Taxus chinensis in Asia, according to forestry experts. The tree is so large that five adults stretching to reach around the trunk - like hugging the tree – can barely touch hands. Taxus chinensis has been selected as one of the rare and endangered plants under state-level protection in China. [Photo: China News Service/ Hu Yan]
