What does Kashgar Populus euphratica mean?

Kashgar is the abbreviation of Kashgar, which means "the place where jade gathers".

Populus euphratica is the oldest poplar, which lived on the earth more than 60 million years ago. Its height is 15 ~ 30m, and it can sprout seedlings from roots. Populus euphratica grows rapidly in northwest China, which can stop quicksand, green the environment and protect farmland. It is an important afforestation tree species in northwest China, mainly distributed in southern Xinjiang, western Qaidam Basin and Hexi Corridor.

Extended data:

Populus euphratica can sprout seedlings from the roots, can endure the arid environment in the desert, and has strong saline-alkali tolerance. Bark is grayish brown, and the lower part is cracked; The sprouted branches are thin, round, smooth or slightly fluffy. The bud is oval, smooth and brown, about 7 mm long. Leaves on long branches, seedlings and young trees are linear-lanceolate or narrowly lanceolate, with entire or irregular sparse tooth margins.

Adult tree branches are muddy yellow, short fluff or hairless, and the branches are rich in salt and salty in mouth. The leaves are oval, ovate-lanceolate, triangular, ovoid or kidney-shaped, 25 cm long and 3 cm wide, with 2-4 pairs of coarse teeth at the top, wedge-shaped, wide wedge-shaped, round or truncated at the base, and 2 glandular points, with the same color on both sides; Sparse subcordate or broadly cuneate.

The petiole is 1 ~ 3 cm long, smooth and slightly flat, about the same length as the leaf, and the petiole of the budding branch is very short, only 1 cm long, short fluff or smooth. There are many gaps at the edge of the leaves, which are a bit like maple leaves, with leathery leaves and long hair on the branches, and even young leaves such as willow leaves to reduce the evaporation of water, so they are also called "Populus euphratica" and "Populus heterophylla".
