Woody Plant Planting Methods and Cultivation Techniques: Key Points
Woody plants (woody plant) are solid plants whose roots and stems form large amounts of xylem through thickening growth, and whose cell walls are also mostly lignified. The plant body has well-developed xylem, hard stems, and is perennial. In contrast to herbaceous plants, people often call the former trees and the latter grasses.
According to differences in form, woody plants are divided into three categories: trees, shrubs, and subshrubs.
Woody plants are the source of timber and are all perennial plants. In addition, except for the Gnetopsida, all gymnosperms belong to the woody plants; Cyathea spinulosa and Sphaeropteris lepifera are the only woody ferns.
Because woody plants differ in plant height and branching position, their cell walls are also mostly lignified and they have cambium. The aboveground parts are perennial trees and perennial shrubs. The corresponding category is herbaceous plants.
What woody plants are there
Deciduous woody plants
They generally shed their leaves in winter (or the dry season) and grow in spring, summer, and autumn (or the rainy season).
1. Representative plants: wintersweet, plum blossom, magnolia, winter jasmine, elm-leaved spirea, poplar, etc. Growth characteristics: they bloom in late winter or early spring, the branches have both flower buds and leaf buds, and when they sprout, the flowers appear before the leaves.
2. Representative plants: apple, pear tree, Malus halliana, etc.
Growth characteristics: they bloom in spring, the branches have both mixed buds and leaf buds, the mixed buds grow on short branches, and when they sprout, the flowers and leaves appear together.

3. Representative plants: Chinese rose, Kerria japonica, etc.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout, the leaves appear before the flowers, and they can bloom multiple times a year, with the most abundant blooming in spring and autumn.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout, the leaves appear before the flowers, and they can bloom multiple times a year, with the most abundant blooming in spring and autumn.
4. Representative plants: pomegranate, crape myrtle, etc.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout, the leaves appear before the flowers, and the flowering period is in summer or autumn, with a relatively long flowering period.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout, the leaves appear before the flowers, and the flowering period is in summer or autumn, with a relatively long flowering period.
5. Representative plants: rose, Rosa multiflora, etc.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout, the leaves appear before the flowers, and the flowering period is at the turn of spring and summer, blooming only once a year.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout, the leaves appear before the flowers, and the flowering period is at the turn of spring and summer, blooming only once a year.
6. Representative plants: Paulownia.
Growth characteristics: when they sprout in spring, the flowers and leaves grow at the same time. The flower buds form in summer, overwinter, and only open when they sprout in the following spring.

Evergreen woody plants
They are usually evergreen all year round, dormant in winter, and their leaves do not fall off in large numbers; in spring there is a leaf-exchange period (meaning the shedding of old leaves and the emergence of new leaves occur simultaneously).
1. Representative plants: citrus, longan, pine, cypress, etc.
Growth characteristics: they bloom in spring.
2. Representative plants: Cuphea.
Growth characteristics: they bloom year-round.
3. Representative plants: jasmine.
Growth characteristics: they prefer hot climates, and midsummer is the main flowering period.
4. Representative plants: camellia, tea camellia, Camellia japonica, etc.
Growth characteristics: the flower bud stage is very long; flower buds generally form in summer, and the buds must overwinter before they can open in the following spring.
