[What is the value of collecting cliff pines as root art?]
Taihang cliff pines, like cliff cypresses, are plants that grow on cliffs. However, due to the dispersal of seeds, good cliff pines are even harder to find compared to cliff cypresses. True cliff pines have a texture that is very similar to cliff cypresses, but they are more three-dimensional and smooth. The only difference is that the fragrance of cliff pines is not as pleasant as that of cliff cypresses.
The color of aged cliff pines is gray-black to gray-white, just like cliff cypresses. Cliff pines that come out of cliff crevices also have a coating that is almost one centimeter thick. They have lumps and flat boards, so it is estimated that many cliff pines are mixed in with cliff cypresses in the market. Smell is an important criterion for distinguishing cliff pines from cliff cypresses, and it can be easily distinguished if there is a cross-section.
The oiliness and delicacy of cliff pines are excellent. The wood ranges in color from light yellow to golden red, allowing for the carving of very delicate textures. In my opinion, it is not inferior to any existing root art material.
As a root art collection, the most outstanding feature of cliff pines is their beautiful and diverse textures. As mentioned earlier, the textures of cliff pines are larger, three-dimensional, and full of strength. Combined with their skin color and unique texture, they have quite an impact. Moreover, their shapes are also varied, just like cliff cypresses, with clear figures of people, birds, and animals. They are definitely a natural root art material worth collecting.
