Bioecology, landscape use, and breeding technology of ephalotaxus drupacea sieb. Et zucc.

Abstract

According to the UN Convention on Biological Diversity, 34,000 plant species are in danger of going extinct. Environmental issues including climate change provide difficulties for landscaping, plant selection, and environment aesthetics. In addition to employing landscape trees, adding lovely blooming shrubs may improve the landscaping's aesthetic value. In this article Cephalotaxus drupacea Sieb. et Zucc. The bioecology, decorativeness and breeding technology of Danakbosh zarnab are discussed, as well as practical experiences. The results of studying the morphobiological characteristics of Cephalotaxus drupacea seeds are presented. It has been shown that the size, shape, and texture of the seeds serve as a diagnostic feature. These features of Cephalotaxus drupacea indicate a high level of adaptation to environmental factors. It is an evergreen ornamental shrub, 10-15 m tall, belonging to the Cephalotaxaceae family. Homeland - Central China, Korea, East India, Japan. Shade-loving, cold-resistant. According to AL Takhtadjian, Cephalotaxaceae family, Cephalotaxus genus consists of 6 species, which were widespread in the Northern Hemisphere in ancient geological times. Currently, this species is distributed only in Asia, namely: East India, Central and South China, Taiwan Islands, Korea and Japan.
