Not resistant to transplantation, sensitive to sulfur dioxide pollution, shallow root system, fast growth and short life. If managed well, the tree age can reach more than 100 years.

Tung oil flower has the following poem.
Tung flowers in Fujian and Taiwan Province
virgo
From Taichung to Nanjing
From Nanjing to Zhangzhou
Zhangzhou to Xiamen
You talked about tung oil flowers all the way.
You said your ancient ancestors
From Nanjing to Taichung Mountain Area
Planting tung trees
Harvesting tung oil seeds
Squeeze a little tung oil
You said Tung Shu was your ancestor.
Live a hard life alone
Leave a beautiful body and mind to future generations.
You said tung oil flower is very small.
Taichung city is very small
The earth is small.
You cross the universe with your heart.
The universe is small.
You are a tearful tung flower.
April rain or May snow.
You can't cross.
