It requires sun to grow, and does best in moist, but well-drained soil. It is a fast-growing and hardy species that resists attack by both pests and diseases. It is also highly tolerant of frost and can survive in moderate drought conditions.
The bark has medicinal purposes. It can be used to treat diarrhea, flatulence, and gonorrhea, among other diseases. The bark can also be used to treat fever, and has astringent properties that help it to stop bleeding. It is also used for making furniture and window frames. Finally, because of its delicate scent, the wood is often used as incense in temples.
In spring, the foliage is reddish pink, later becomes dark green. The leaves of the tree are often eaten, but have specific medical importance. In traditional Chinese medicine, they have been used to treat a variety of ailments. Interestingly, eating leaves from the tree seems to have positive effects on semen quality for males, increasing sperm motility and ATP levels. Although Chinese medicine has appreciated this treatment for its benefits for many years, only recently have scientific studies been published to establish the mechanisms behind this.
