Unraveling the conservation conundrum of China’s native Jacktree

The Jacktree (Sinojackia xylocarpa), native to China, is renowned for its unique spindle-shaped fruits and ornamental appeal. However, its survival is threatened by factors such as limited population size, fragmented habitats, and low germination rates caused by tough, lignified pericarps. Addressing these challenges requires in-depth genetic research to develop effective conservation measures. The Jacktree (Sinojackia xylocarpa), native to China, is renowned for its unique spindle-shaped fruits and ornamental appeal.
