Basic Introduction to Eucommia ulmoides in Zhenping

Eucommia ulmoides cultivation in Zhenping County has a history of hundreds of years. According to historical records, Eucommia ulmoides was planted during the greening of Bodhi Temple, located 25 miles northeast of the county town, in the Tang Dynasty. Eucommia ulmoides was originally a wild plant. After people became aware of its medicinal value and growth habits, they were transplanted from mountains and wilderness to courtyards and field embankments for management. Eucommia ulmoides was propagated by sowing, but due to the scarcity of fertile female plants, the serious phenomenon of fruiting years, and premature harvesting and utilization, its development speed was suppressed, and its yield was low, always in a state of supply shortage. According to the 1983 forestry resource survey, there were only 260000 Eucommia ulmoides plants (piers) in the county, with an annual output of 10000 kilograms of Eucommia ulmoides. Since the Third Plenary Session of the 11th Central Committee, the development efforts have been increased, and by 1995, the number had grown to over 16 million plants; The output has increased from 10000 kilograms to over 900000 kilograms, and the annual output value has surged from over 80000 yuan to over 30 million yuan now.
