The ancient torreya grandis group in Huiji Mountain in Shaoxing is located in the Huiji Mountain range in the south-central part of Shaoxing, covering an area of about 400 square kilometers. Torreya grandis1050000 plants, including more than 72000 torreya grandis trees over a hundred years and thousands of torreya grandis trees over a thousand years. More than 2000 years ago, Shaoxing ancestors artificially grafted torreya grandis from wild torreya grandis.

Due to artificial grafting cultivation, there are many obvious "bull leg" grafting scars at the base of existing ancient torreya grandis trees. The ancient torreya grandis has achieved fruitful results for thousands of years, and it can be called a "living specimen" of ancient seed selection and grafting technology.

The ancient torreya grandis group in Huijishan originated before Tang Dynasty, cultivated in Song Dynasty and developed in Yuan, Ming and Qing Dynasties. At present, there are 654.38+10,000 torreya grandis trees in the core area, including more than 4,500 torreya grandis trees over a thousand years old and 70,000 torreya grandis trees over a hundred years old.

Especially the "Torreya grandis King of China" located in Torreya grandis Village, Zhao Jiazhen, Zhuji City, is 20 meters high and 9.26 meters in bust, covering an area of more than 500 square meters. After thousands of years, it is still fruitful. Shaoxing ancestors used steep slopes to build terraces, planted torreya grandis, intercropped tea, miscellaneous grains and vegetables under torreya grandis forest, and the compound management system of "torreya grandis-crops under terraces" constituted a unique steep slope utilization system with soil and water conservation and efficient utilization.
