Can you plant redwoods in Shanghai?

Mahogany trees can be planted in Shanghai.

Mahogany trees are suitable for growing in tropical and subtropical areas. Shanghai has a subtropical monsoon climate and can be planted. During the growth of redwood trees, warm and humid climate conditions and good soil environment are needed, and protective measures are taken.

Since 2005, Professor Zhong Yang has applied to Shanghai Science and Technology Commission for the project of planting mangroves in Shanghai. In 2007, the research group purchased 12000 seedlings of mangrove plants from Zhuhai and other places, and planted them on the ground in Shanghai Lingang New Town, which moved nearly 3 degrees north from the original mangrove distribution boundary. This action shows that human beings actively intervene and transform the natural ecosystem, which has a positive effect on improving the quality of coastline, protecting biodiversity and preventing seawater erosion.
