Three, different habits
1, juniper
Born in neutral soil, calcareous soil and slightly acidic soil, like light, like cool, warm climate and moist soil. Drought-resistant and slightly moisture-tolerant, deep-rooted species, in North China and the lower reaches of the Yangtze River at an altitude of 500 meters below the middle and upper reaches of the altitude of 1,000 meters below the well-drained mountains can be selected for afforestation.
2, cypress
Strong adaptability, not strict soil requirements, in the acidic, neutral, calcareous and light saline soils can grow, high temperature resistance, shallow rootedness, in Shandong is only distributed at an altitude of 900m below the elevation of 400m below the altitude of good growth.
