What is Arborvitae? Where are the arborvitae found? What environment does it generally grow in?

Arborvitae: also known as cypress, cypress, cedar. It is an evergreen tree.

It is an excellent landscaping tree species, and the height of the tree can generally reach about 20 meters. Twigs and leaves can be used as medicine and stop bleeding. The wood is solid and can be used for construction and furniture.

The bark is reddish-brown longitudinally lobed, and the twigs are flattened. The leaves are scaly and small.

Arborvitae orientalis likes light, is more cold-tolerant, less wind-resistant, drought-tolerant, and likes moisture, but not resistant to flooding. Resistant to barrenness, it can grow in ordinary soil. But it grows slowly and has an extremely long lifespan.

It is widely distributed from Inner Mongolia and Jilin in the north to Guangdong and northern Guangxi in the south. The scope of artificial cultivation is almost all over the country.

Arborvitae is a cypress of the genus Cypressaceae of the family Cypressaceae, which is of the genus Cypress.

What is the difference between Arborvitae and cypress Cypress is a general term for Arborvitae, and there are branches of Sand Cypress, Cypress, etc.

The above information is provided by Shandong Black Pine Oriental P. orientalis planting base.

The branches of cypress are also often arranged in a flat line, but the branches are soft and drooping; On the other hand, the branches of Arborvitae are thicker, and the plane arranged in a plane is erect or oblique, and does not droop.

2. Differences in color:

The color of cypress leaves is very clear, particularly crisp, and it is a particularly authentic green; The color of the leaves of Arborvitae is relatively dark, and the color is particularly deep, not verdant green, but deep green.

3. The difference between use and function: cypress leaves have many uses, can be used to make pillows, and also have certain medicinal effects, but arborvitae leaves cannot be used to make pillows.
