　　Oil camphor is a precious species of tree in the genus Cinnamomum of the Lauraceae family. It is unique to Yibin in China, excluding Taiwan Province, and is also known as “Yibin Oil Camphor.” Oil camphor is an evergreen arbor that can grow up to 50 meters tall with a breast height diameter of 3 meters. It features rapid growth, strong sprouting ability, abundant foliage, few pests and diseases, an attractive tree shape, a majestic posture, flexible wood texture, and dense grain. It can live for up to a thousand years, making it a prime choice for large-scale afforestation and greening around homes, roads, fields, and water bodies. Among these, Fufu Village in Gubai Township, Yibin County, is the most representative, with over 90% of its area covered by oil camphor trees, earning it the reputation of being the “No. 1 Village of China’s Oil Camphor Hometown.”
