3. Strong adaptability. The main root is deep and the root system is well developed. In the 3rd year, the main stem can reach 3.5 cm in diameter, and in 4-5 years it can grow into a "honeysuckle tree" 1.5 m tall. It is resistant to waterlogging and drought, and tolerant of heat and cold, and can grow vigorously in saline-alkali sandy land, in front of and behind houses, and along roadsides and field ridges.

4. Wide range of uses. It does not shed its leaves in all four seasons, so it can be used for landscaping and can also be cultivated as a bonsai.
