The oak tree is a common tall tree species widely used in park and residential green areas. In addition to its high ornamental value, the bark and leaves of the oak tree can also be used for medicinal purposes, with good medicinal effects. Let's take a closer look at the oak tree!
The oak tree is widely used in park green areas. It has beautiful flowers and leaves, and its branches are tall and straight. Oak trees can be planted in groups to create a landscape of flower seas, or they can be planted individually to create a unique view. They can also be combined with landscape rockeries to create a particularly beautiful scenery.
The maintenance of oak trees throughout the year is simple, mainly involving pruning the crown, fertilizing, removing weeds, and controlling pests. Oak trees are rarely affected by diseases and pests, mainly preventing the larvae of the Green Oak Leaf Roller Moth from eating the leaves.
Oak trees have moderate tolerance to drought. They can withstand mild to moderate drought, but they cannot survive under severe drought. Their drought resistance level is not as good as that of trees with long root systems, such as ginkgo trees and willow trees.
Oak trees can grow in various types of soil. They are not strict with soil requirements and can adapt to loamy soil, clay soil, and sandy soil. However, the soil should have good drainage and be flat. In areas with continuous rainfall in summer, the ground should not retain water for a long time, and excess water should be drained quickly. Oak trees can also tolerate slightly saline-alkali soil.
Oak trees can also be combined with various colorful deciduous trees, shrubs, ground covers, and flowers to create various landscapes. They can also be used to decorate green spaces, adding color and vitality to the garden atmosphere.
Famous oak tree gardens in China include Wuhan, Taizhou, Sichuan, Chongqing, Ningbo, etc. Due to the important role of urban greening in social and economic prosperity and ecological development, oak trees have become a large-scale landscaping tree species in various regions.
In terms of medicinal value, oak leaves have the effects of clearing heat, detoxifying, and cooling the blood. They are mainly used to treat ulcers, swelling, and pain, as well as abnormal uterine bleeding accompanied by discharge.
