Introduction to sand cypress:

Sand cypress is a rare evergreen shrub in the north. It is highly upright and grows prostrate, with a general height of no more than 1.5 meters. Young leaves are spiny, while old trees have scaly leaves. The spiny leaves have no obvious main veins, and the scaly leaves have oval glands located in the middle of the back of the leaf. The leaves are crossed and opposite, so it is also known as "Fork Juniper". Sand cypress has glands in the middle of its back. Because of this gland, sand cypress emits a "stinky" smell, so it is also known as "stinky cypress". This feature is very obvious!

The root system of Sand Cypress is extremely developed, with numerous fibrous roots, which can form a criss-cross root network within a soil layer of 10 to 60 cm, which is an excellent solution to ecological problems such as soil erosion and sand dune spread. It has very good functions of shore protection, urban air purification, sand prevention and slope protection. Effectively protect the ecological environment and bring better economic benefits to farmers.
