The scientific name of Huangshan pine.
English names: Taiwan Province pine, Huangshan pine.
Family name: Pinaceae Pinaceae
Pinus taiwanensis is a variety of pine trees in China, which is formed by the unique landform and climate of Huangshan Mountain. Pinus taiwanensis generally grows above 800 meters above sea level, usually at the north slope 1500- 1700 meters and the south slope 1000- 1600 meters. The variety of Pinus taiwanensis has a great relationship with the natural environment of Huangshan Mountain. The seeds of Pinus taiwanensis can be carried by the wind to the cracks in granite, where they germinate and take root and grow with invincible strength. The soil in Huangshan Mountain is scarce, but the red feldspar in granite contains potassium. After a thunderstorm in summer, nitrogen in the air becomes nitrogen salt, which can be absorbed by rocks and soil, and then by the roots of pine trees. The roots of pine trees constantly secrete an organic acid, which can slowly dissolve rocks and decompose mineral salts in rocks for their own use; Flowers, trees, leaves and other plants are decomposed into fertilizers after decay; In this way, Pinus taiwanensis can survive and grow in barren rock crevices. The terrain is rugged and the cliffs are stacked vertically and horizontally. Pinus taiwanensis can't grow vertically, but can only grow zigzag or even downward. Because of its resistance to storms and frost, Pinus taiwanensis has short and thick needles, flat and sharp crown, dark green color, and extremely tough and elastic trunk and branches. Another feature of Pinus taiwanensis is that many pine trees only grow branches on one side due to wind and sun.
Where is Huangshan Song Qi? First of all, the magic lies in its tenacious vitality. The pine trees in Huangshan Mountain grow on the hard rock of Huanggang. They grow on peaks, cliffs and deep valleys, lush and full of vitality. The uniqueness of Pinus taiwanensis lies in its unique natural shape. The needles of Pinus taiwanensis are short, thick and dense, the leaves are dark green, the branches are curved and the crown is flat, showing a simple, steady and vigorous momentum. Every pine tree, every pine tree, is different in appearance, posture and charm, and has a peculiar beauty. According to their different shapes and verve, people have given them proper natural, elegant and interesting names, such as Yingke pine, Black Tiger pine, Wolong pine, Dragon Claw pine, Sea Adventure pine and Unity pine.
Pinus taiwanensis is tough, proud and beautiful, but its growth environment is very difficult, so its growth rate is extremely slow. A tall yellow pine is often hundreds of years old, even hundreds of years old; Roots are often several times or dozens of times longer than trunks. Because of its deep roots, Pinus taiwanensis can stand firmly on the rocks, but it is still young after wind and frost.
Exquisite and strange stones, oblique yellow pine branches and boundless sea of clouds are called "three wonders" of Huangshan Mountain's beautiful scenery. The pine trees in Huangshan Mountain are famous for their strangeness. Pinus taiwanensis doesn't grow in the soil like ordinary pine trees, but takes root and sprouts in the gap of the cliff by secreting an acidic substance according to the mountain situation and wind direction. They are not afraid of the cold, evergreen all the year round, and their shapes are standing, lying, leaning, leaning and dazzling. The world-famous welcoming pine on Yuping Building, the unique farewell pine, the domineering black tiger pine on Shixin Peak and the sea-exploring pine on Tiandu Peak-Huangshan pine not only grow independently, but also have trees in the forest. When the mountain wind blows, it is like the tide rippling on the shore, which is spectacular.
