The historical course of scientific researches related to Taxus baccata in the Ukrainian Carpathians was analyzed. The present typological, high-altitude and exposition structure of distribution of plantations with the participation of Taxus baccata in the Ukrainian Carpathians was established. The area of the stand distribution with the participation of this species in the region of research was specified. It is established that the total area of the forest plantations with the participation of Taxus baccata in the Ukrainian Carpathians is 285,0 ha. The ecological, forestry and economic value of this species are analyzed. The reasons for its disappearance in the research area are detailed. Restrictive factors of distribution of Taxus baccata L. in the area of the Ukrainian Carpathians are established. The reasons for the significant reduction of the Taxus baccata L. in the Carpathians and largely cutting in the past of its trees was the extremely high economic value of wood, unsatisfactory restoration, slow growth, low competitiveness, unsatisfactory seed placement under the complete forest canopy and its poisoning.
