Abstract:Abstracts:To exhibit rare and regional characteristic plants in Hubei province on the 10th China (Wuhan) International Garden Flower Expo (CIGFE),23 kinds of alpine plants were introduced to Wuhan in 2013 from two sites (Yichang and Enshi).The species of these plants included Davidia involucrate, Cercidiphyllum japonicum,Quercus spinosa,Cornus officinalis,Acer griseum and so on.A total number of 176 seedlings with various specifications and types were cultivated andmaintained elaborately using several techniques including soil improvement,container cultivation, chemical enhancement,shedding with covers and adjustment of temperature and humidity with micro-sprinkling irrigation.After the one-year experiment,135 seedlings survived.The survival rate of Davidia involucrate was 92.8%, and five plants of the survived flowered in the next year.In addition,the survival rates of Cercidiphyllum japonicum,Quercus spinosa,Cornus officinalis and Acer griseum were 100%,90%,100% and 40.9%,respectively.These results will provide suggestions on how to give prominence to regional characteristic plants in constructing urbun forest in Wuhan.
