However, because there are a lot of stellate hairs on the young branches and leaves, such as the respiratory tract of inhaled people, it is not suitable for planting in kindergartens and crowded places. When choosing varieties, we should pay attention to choosing varieties with less hairs. It is reported that there are hairless varieties on the market at present, and the grafting effect can be better if hairless or hairless varieties are used as far as possible. The wood is yellowish white to light reddish brown, which can be used for packaging, tennis rackets, food boxes, luggage boards and so on. Large diameter wood can be used as chord-cut veneer of plywood.
