Function and value of Platanus acerifolia
Medicinal value: The whole plant of Platanus acerifolia has strong medicinal value, has the efficacy of clearing away heat and toxic materials, and has a very obvious therapeutic effect on rheumatoid arthritis in the elderly. The leaves of buttonwood can stop bleeding, flowers can soak in water to wash feet, and beriberi can be removed. Generally speaking, buttonwood is a treasure all over.
Greening environment: the effect of greening with buttonwood is very good. One buttonwood tree is worth two big poplars. The tall buttonwood tree is flourishing and its bark surface is very smooth. Don't worry about pruning at ordinary times. Cut as many branches as possible. Now most of the desert greening uses buttonwood trees.
Purify the air: buttonwood also plays a vital role in purifying the air. As the plane tree breathes air, it will absorb all these harmful gases, convert them into oxygen, and then release them into the air, so that we can absorb fresh air.
