What kind of tree is silk floss wood?

Silkworm, also known as Bai Du, is a deciduous tree of Euonymus in Euonymaceae, which is widely distributed from southwest to northeast of China. In recent years, silk cotton wood has become a tree species that has attracted much attention in the industry and has been widely cultivated and applied.

Silk cotton wood is cold-resistant, drought-resistant and salt-tolerant, and its requirements for soil are not strict. Its leaves are shy and its fruit is beautiful, so it is a rare ornamental fruit tree variety. With the holding of the 4th North Silk Cotton Wood Summit Forum, the production and application of silk cotton wood entered a new era, with more novel cultivation methods, wider application channels and endless horticultural varieties.

In the past, silk cotton was mainly cultivated as a landscape tree. With the improvement of its quality, it was also widely used as a street tree, and it was applied in Zibo, Shandong, Yinchuan, Ningxia, Langfang, Hebei, Beijing World Expo Park and other places with good performance. It can be said that silk cotton wood as a street tree has epoch-making significance and can be described as unbreakable. First of all, it is not uncommon to fix street trees with a dry height of about 3 meters; Secondly, its tree shape has been enriched, including traditional truncated seedlings, new original crown seedlings and clustered seedlings.

Advantages of silk cotton compared with other tree species:

1, which germinates early and leaves late, and leaves can last until around New Year's Day, establishing its mainstream position in the field of northern trees.

2, strong adaptability, transplant resistance, soil ball semi-crown, full crown can be transplanted in all seasons, which is very important in the field of seedling sales! Planting and selling in one place can reach the whole country, which is something that few other species can achieve.

3. Large-scale full-crown engineering seedlings are easy to break branches when transplanted and transported, so it is necessary to pack fewer branches without stopping. However, long-distance transportation with less loading means high cost. Silk cotton wood is not afraid, and branches bent over 90 degrees are not easy to break. This is a prerequisite for sales in the national market.
