- Abstract
Due to the special geographical conditions of Tibet, the plant species applied in local landscaping have been limited. In the landscaping project of Fujian Park, 59 woody landscape plant species were introduced from the hinterland, and the survival rate and growth vigor of these species had been observed for 15 years. In terms of growth vigor and ornamental character, about 32 species showed good performance such as Prunus cerasi&ra f. atropurpurea and Dendtobenthemia japonica; 8 species showed moderate growth performance such as Metasequak gjyptosttobaides Hu et Cheng and Magnolia denudata Desr.; 14 species showed poor growth vigor such as Ginkgo biloba L. and Osmanthus bagrans Lour., and 5 species died such as Albizzia julibrissin Durazz. and Hibiscus mutabilis L. Moreover, the paper explored key factors that influence the introduction of woody landscape plants in linzhi City, and pointed out that wind damage and low temperature were 2 key factors.
