Where does camphor tree usually grow?

Cinnamomum camphora grows in warm and humid areas, with an annual average temperature of 16 ~ 17℃ and an absolute low temperature of -7℃. Camphor trees are mainly distributed in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in Taiwan Province, Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan and Sichuan.

Cinnamomum camphora is not strict with soil, and it grows well in deep and fertile clay loam, sandy loam, acidic soil and neutral soil, and can also grow in saline-alkali soil with salt content below 0.2%.

Cinnamomum camphora is an evergreen tree, with a height of 30 meters and a diameter of 3 meters, and a wide oval crown; Branches, leaves and wood all smell of camphor; The bark is yellowish brown with irregular longitudinal cracks. The terminal bud is broadly ovoid or spherical, and the scales are broadly ovoid or suborbicular.

Panicle axillary, 3.5 ~ 7 cm long, peduncle, total peduncle 2.5 ~ 4.5 cm long, hairless or grayish white to yellowish brown, with puberulent rachis at all levels, especially when the nodes are hairy. Flowers are green and white or yellow.

Camphor tree planting

Cinnamomum camphora seedlings should be planted with intertillage weeding 1 time every year during the dormant period of trees in autumn and winter, and the appropriate intertillage depth is 20 ~ 30cm. On the one hand, it can promote soil weathering and eliminate pests and diseases;

On the other hand, trees are dormant, and if some roots are damaged, the growth of trees will not be greatly affected. In addition, intertillage combined with fertilization will have a better effect. At this time, base fertilizer should be applied to store water to keep warm, promote root system development and create conditions for tree growth in the coming year.

In addition, it can also be managed by intercropping with low crops, because low crops can loosen the soil around trees and increase fertility, especially in high temperature weather, and low crops can prevent groundwater from evaporating.
