Imagine walking through a peaceful mountain forest in winter and suddenly spotting trees decorated with bright red berries that shine like little jewels! ✨ That’s exactly what’s happening in the mountain forests of Shiqian County in Guizhou Province, China.
These special trees are called Chinese yews. They grow very slowly and can live for hundreds, even thousands, of years! In late autumn, they produce cherry-like fruits that add a splash of color to the snowy landscape. It’s like nature’s own holiday decorations! 🎄🍒
The Chinese yew trees grow high up in the mountains, about 1,000 meters above sea level. Because they are rare and precious, they are classified as a first-class protected plant in China. This means they are very special and need to be cared for and protected.
Seeing these bright berries in the middle of winter is a rare and magical sight. If you ever get a chance to visit Guizhou Province, keep an eye out for these amazing trees. Until then, remember that nature is full of surprises waiting to be discovered! 🌲❤️
