Abstract

ABSTRACT Chinese torreya (Torreya grandis cv Merrilli) is a relict tree cultivar, distributed in the subtropical mixed broadleaved forest zone in eastern China. Chinese torreya was selected long time ago from quality trees of Torreya grandis Fort. ex Lind. and grafted on other Torreya trees, then cultivated by artificial propagation. Due to its commercial importance (e.g., nuts for food and medicinal uses), cultivation and development of large scale industrial plantations for Chinese torreya is under way. This review includes multiple perspectives on this cash tree cultivar, involving grafting, biological characteristics, distribution, functional food and health effects, as well as its contribution to local society, economy and environment. The advantage and challenge in cultivation, management and development of this cultivar in China are discussed. The information will be helpful for introducing this tree elsewhere, developing new products and exploring its livelihoods effects. It is proposed that sustainable development for organic food industry and medical use combined with ecotourism should be encouraged.

中国香榧栽培与发展综述

摘要中国香榧(torreya grandis cv Merrilli)是中国东部亚热带混交林阔叶林的一种孑存树种。中国香榧是很早以前从香榧大堡的优质树木中挑选出来的。林德。嫁接到其他香榧树上，再人工繁殖栽培。由于其商业重要性(例如，作为食品和医药用途的坚果)，中国香榧的大规模工业种植园的种植和发展正在进行中。本文从嫁接、生物学特性、分布、功能性食品和保健效应以及对当地社会、经济和环境的贡献等方面对该经济树种进行了综述。讨论了该品种在中国栽培、管理和发展中的优势和挑战。这些信息将有助于在其他地方引进这种树，开发新产品并探索其对生计的影响。建议鼓励有机食品产业的可持续发展和医疗利用与生态旅游相结合。
