Use of Salix matsudana

Salix matsudana is a common tree species in northern China, but its crown is very special, generally spherical or hemispherical in outline, without a central trunk, but a multi-stem crown. The "First Wood Operation Method" created by ancient ancestors in China provided people with a large number of rafters and wood, which is a good method still in use today.
