Since the yew is slow growing and sparsely distributed among other trees in the forest, itis scattered throughout the area. To save the trees and still provide for the patient’s needs, scientists began to produce taxol synthetically in the laboratory from the tree's leaves, This proces is more costly than harvesting the bark, growing the foliage io a nursery provides a renewable resource (a) Recent studies have shown that Pacific yews can be successfully propagated at a minimal cost. Whether the young plants are kept under conditions with high humidity, their survival rate is about 70 percent. These studies indicate that chemists will be able to secure an adequate supply of taxol and also save the Pacific yew from possible extinction.
