In recent years, shaped nursery stock has had an obvious price advantage compared with nursery stock of the same specifications, and its applications have become increasingly widespread. This is the result of diversified development in the landscaping market demand, and it is also a major trend.

The value of a landscape-shaped tree is mainly measured by three aspects: tree species, tree age and tree appearance. Among them, tree species is the foundation of a landscape-shaped tree. Not all tree species are suitable for landscape-shaped trees. Fast-growing tree species grow quickly, have soft wood and messy branches, and are not suitable for later artificial pruning, shaping and artistic processing, so they also lose their landscape and shaping value. Therefore, the basic conditions that a tree species suitable for shaping needs to have are: slow growth, long lifespan, tolerance to pruning and shaping, fine dense emerald-green leaves, a trunk that appears more weathered and antique as the tree age increases, and good effects for viewing leaves and trunks.
