Seen are the forests in the Pacific Northwest where the Pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin) grows. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

After the bark is peeled off the Pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin), it is ground up. Taxol is then extracted and purified to produce the chemotherapy drug to treat a variety of cancers. Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.

Taxol, found in the bark of the pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin), is a promising anti-cancer drug. It takes 30,000 pounds of bark (2,000-4,000 trees) to produce one kilogram of taxol. The tree had to be sacrificed to produce the bark. It can take decades for pacific yew to reach shoulder height, small trees yield less bark. Alternatives for producing taxol are being explored.

A space-filling model of a taxol molecule was computer generated. Taxol, originally extracted from the pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin), is used as chemotherapy for a variety of cancers. Credit: George McGregor (photographer).

Scientists are trying to find alternative ways of producing taxol, one being from the yew needles rather than the bark of the pacific yew tree (taxus brevifolin). Credit: Unknown photographer/artist.
