Introduction to the ancient torreya tree: There is a torreya tree in the scenic area, with a height of 22 meters and a chest circumference of 2.2 meters at the base. It is more than 1,200 years old and is lush all year round. It opens its thick arms as if to welcome guests from all over the world. The torreya tree is a non-deciduous tree, dioecious. Its fruits bloom and bear fruit in the first year and do not mature until the second year. That’s why it’s a reality that a tree can bear fruit for two years. So when the fruits are ripe, you have to climb up the tree and pick them one by one with your hands instead of hitting them with a stick. The fruit is baked, crispy and delicious, and has medicinal value for moistening the lungs and relieving coughs. This kind of tree can only be seen in Daxi in Anji, but do not touch it with your hands, because the fine hairs on the tree will make it itchy and uncomfortable when it touches the skin.
