Clonal Forestry with Sugi (Cryptomeria japonica)

  • Chapter
Clonal Forestry II

Abstract

Since ancient times, sugi (Cryptomeria japonica D. Don) has been one of the most important conifer species in Japan. In the People’s Republic of China, descriptions of Cryptomeria foriunei Hooibrenk ex Otto et Dietr, are also found, however, it is not so popular in Chinese forestry (cf. Hashimoto 1983). In Taiwan, in 1896, the seeds of C. japonica were firstly introduced from Japan, and at present about 45 000 ha of plantations have been established in the mountainous region at an elevation of 800-2000 m above sea level (cf. Sakaguchi 1983). In Korea, as it is cold and dry in winter, the C. japonica plantations introduced in ca. 1915 are limited to the southern area of the country. There are now about 74000 ha of plantation (cf. Hyun 1983). According to the description of the above authors, C. japonica seems to have very limited uses in Taiwan and Korea.
