The leaves of the Chinese tallow tree change color with the seasons and climate, just like the poinsettia. When the climate gradually turns cool and autumn and winter slowly arrive, the leaves change from emerald green to yellow and orange-red, and then to red or reddish-brown, which is another distinctive feature of the Chinese tallow tree.

Why is the Chinese tallow tree trunk curved: it may be due to lighting, as when only one side can receive sunlight, the tree will grow toward that side; there is also the issue of water, as hydrotropism makes the roots grow toward places rich in water. There are also nutrients, for example the roots also show tropism toward places rich in inorganic salts. If the place where it grows has strong wind, the tree will be blown crooked, but it still continues to grow, and in this way it becomes curved.

In which season does the Chinese tallow tree bloom? The blooming period of the Chinese tallow tree is different from that of ordinary trees. The blooming period of the Chinese tallow tree is generally between April and August, and the blooming period is not very long, about 25 days.
Characteristics of Chinese tallow tree wood: the wood of the Chinese tallow tree is white in color, hard, fine-grained, does not warp or crack, and has a beautiful grain. It can be used as material for furniture and carving, and is especially good for making cutting boards; even after thousands of chops, it remains undamaged and is durable.
