Why is boxwood so expensive?

Why is boxwood so expensive?

1. Because boxwood grows extremely slowly. A tree with a diameter of 15 cm takes at least 150 to 200 years to grow, so top-grade raw timber is very scarce. It is mainly produced in the deep mountains of Hubei, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. Other places also have small-leaved boxwood (Buxus sinica) production areas, such as Shuyang in Jiangsu, Henan, Hebei, Shandong and other places, but the yield is extremely low, and it is very difficult for the trees to reach usable timber size.

2. Because boxwood is difficult to harvest. This tree grows on mountains at an altitude of 1500 to 2500 m, is not easy to find, and is also not easy to cut.

3. Resource information is highly concentrated. Unless you are a professional expert, it is very difficult to find information on these resources.

Why is boxwood so expensive? In the final analysis, it still comes down to low yield.。

What are the craft values of boxwood?
