Can Phoebe bournei be planted artificially?

It can be planted artificially, but it grows very slowly under natural conditions.

At the age of 20, the growth of height and DBH is only 5.6 meters and 4. 1 cm, and it will not reach the vigorous growth stage until after 60-70 years old. At present, the initial growth of artificially planted Phoebe bournei is much faster than that of natural forest.

Compared with 20-year-old natural forest, the average annual growth of DBH, tree height and volume of 13-year-old plantation is 3 times, 2.3 times and 7. 1 times faster than natural growth, respectively.

Growth habit

I like warm and humid environment, but I am resistant to heat and cold. The average annual temperature in the country of origin is about 17℃, and the annual rainfall is 1400- 1600 mm, which is mostly distributed in sewers, gullies and rivers, and can tolerate intermittent short-term floods.

It grows best in neutral or slightly acidic alluvial soil or loam with deep soil layer and good drainage, and grows worse in arid, barren or poorly drained places. Phoebe bournei is a neutral shade tree species, which is shade-tolerant in its infancy. Its taproot is obvious, its lateral roots are developed, and its roots can grow into large-diameter wood.

Jin Sinan is a shade-tolerant tree species, which often grows poorly under full illumination. I like warm and humid climate and humid environment. Deep roots, strong germination and slow growth. Longevity
