French phoenix tree originated from Balkan Peninsula in Central Europe to Iran in West Asia. Some botanists also believe that it originated from Spain in the west to the eastern foothills of the Himalayas. There are artificial introduction and cultivation all over the world.
However, only three species have been introduced and cultivated in China, namely Platanus acerifolia.
X Platanus acerifolia) is also called Paulownia and Platanus occidentalis. The parents of this hybrid are Platanus acerifolia and Platanus acerifolia.
Orientalis) is also known as fatong. Now we usually call these three kinds "Fatong".
Extended data:
The French phoenix tree was planted as a road.
In general, the selection criteria of street trees are reflected in strong adaptability to natural water and soil environment, wide canopy coverage, weak anti-virus interference ability, weak resistance to pests and diseases, and easy survival in alkaline soil.
Screening these technical indicators one by one, there is no doubt that the French phoenix tree has obvious advantages compared with Cinnamomum camphora, Ligustrum lucidum and other tree species, which meets the requirements of landscaping departments to a considerable extent. Therefore, it was introduced and selected by some large and medium-sized cities in China, including Nantong, and planted as street trees. This is also the main reason why people invariably choose French buttonwood when creating the urban landscape of "boulevard".
But the French phoenix tree flies easily in spring and autumn. At present, experts in the garden research department are trying to suppress and eliminate the phenomenon of flying floc in French phoenix tree in spring and autumn by means of tree grafting, chemicals and other technical means, and have started local experiments, which will gradually expand the practical application field of new technologies and finally solve this problem completely.
