Platycladus orientalis is a special tree species in China. Bark reddish brown, longitudinally split. Branchlets are flat. Leaves scaly, small. Hermaphroditic, globose, solitary. The cone is nearly oval. Seeds long ovate, wingless. The arborvitae is light, but the seedlings and saplings have certain shade tolerance. It is more resistant to cold and has poor wind resistance. Drought-tolerant, moist, but not flood-resistant. It is resistant to barren and can grow on slightly acidic to slightly alkaline soils. Slow growth. Extremely long life. Seeds can be treated with warm water before sowing. The seedling method is mostly bed type or large field type. Generally, it is planted in spring, and the seedlings are unearthed about 10 days after sowing. The main afforestation sites are selected from the mountain slopes and semi-sun slopes below 1,500 meters above sea level, as well as light saline and alkaline land and sand land. After the whole land preparation, the seedlings will be planted, and the places where conditions permit can also be broadcast live. The main pests are Platycladus orientalis, S. sylvestris, and Pinus sylvestris.
