Is it birch or poplar that is known as the Desert Hero Tree ?

In the endless desert, it is very difficult to see greenery, because the desert is full of sand, and it is extremely arid, and the desert has a very high salt content. But there is a tree that can survive in the desert environment and is known as the hero tree of the desert, so is this tree a birch or a poplar?

The answer is poplar trees.

Let's take a look at the difference between these two types of trees:

1.Populus euphratica: Populus euphratica does not die for a thousand years, does not fall down for a thousand years after death, and does not rot for a thousand years after falling, which is not only a praise for Populus euphratica, but because Populus euphratica can adapt to extreme drought and extremely saline environment to survive, although its age is not as long as the legend says, but it can also reach about two hundred years, the trunk is straight, the height is about 10-15 meters, and it is sparse shrub-like.

In order to adapt to the arid environment, the leaves on the young branches of its young trees are as narrow as willows, while the leaves on the old branches of large trees are round like poplars.

2.Birch: Birch tree.

He likes sunlight and has a strong vitality. Birch trees usually grow in a forest that has been destroyed by fire, forming a large birch forest, which is one of the main tree species that forms a natural forest. The wood of the birch tree can generally be used as a building and making utensils, and the bark can also be used to extract birch oil, and it is easy to find dense birch forests in the grasslands, forests, and mountain roads in northern China.

However, birch is suitable for growing in warm and humid climates, and for desert environments, although birch can survive, it needs careful care.

Moreover, Populus euphratica is a unique precious forest resource in the desert area, often growing in the desert, it is cold-resistant, drought-resistant, sand-resistant, salinity-alkaline, and its vitality is very tenacious. Its primary role is to prevent wind and sand fixation, create a suitable oasis climate and form fertile soil, for thousands of years, Populus euphratica resolutely guarded in the border desert, watching the wind and sand, protecting the water and soil.

It follows that the true desert hero tree is a poplar tree and not a birch tree.

Known as the hero of the desert, poplar trees are planted in patches in desert areas, and it is also known as the most beautiful tree in the Uyghur language. Its thick trunk and huge crown show its vigorous vitality, and its ability to resist drought, wind and sand, and salt and alkali is also one of the best, so it has always guarded the desert area like a hero.

What does the desert hero refer to.

In desert areas, poplar trees can often be seen, it has tenacious vitality, even in the wind and sand and desert can grow tenaciously, and the poplar tree is also known as the desert hero.

The tree type of poplar tree is generally about 10-15 meters, which belongs to the form of a sparse shrub, and it has a very strong effect on wind prevention and sand fixation, and is known as a natural development barrier in desert areas. In the sandy soil where poplar trees like to grow, it can be said that desert rivers flow to **, **there are traces of poplar. However, growth may be poor in heavy clay soils or hot and humid climates.

Poplar is also the only tree species in the desert, and its wood is hard, can live up to 200 years, not only can be planted in desert areas for environmental modification, but also used to make buildings or furniture is also a high-quality material.

It is the poplar tree, which can still grow in the extremely difficult conditions of the desert and become a beautiful scenery in the desert.

Populus euphratica. This plant is able to survive better in a desert-like environment and is a very drought-tolerant vegetation.

On page 10 of the sixth issue of the Reader in 2011 (March 2, total No. 491), an article by Balji Yuanye was published, "The Land of Poplar", which should be the most perfect interpretation of the poplar tree! The poplar tree is the most spiritual of the trees and has a soul. When you see a poplar tree, you will definitely feel the presence of a soul, and only those who truly have a soul can appreciate its beauty.

It is not only the soul of the desert, but the soul of some kind of world. Just like the Tibetan mastiff, the Tibetan mastiff is spiritually superior to all other animals, including humans.

Populus euphratica itself has a strong vitality, living for thousands of years without dying, not falling down after death, and immortal after a thousand years of falling.

Populus euphratica grows in the desert and is resistant to extremely hostile environments.

Poplar forests often mean life, water, for those who walk in the desert.

Therefore, Populus euphratica is a desert hero tree.
