The Fanjingshan fir is an extremely endangered and very fragile plant species. Known as the "delicate giant," the fir trees only naturally occur on Fanjingshan – or Mount Fanjing – in southwest China's Guizhou Province, and are first-class protected wild trees in China.
Recently, over 1,000 seedlings of the Fanjingshan fir were successfully bred by the Guizhou Academy of Forestry, achieving a big success in preserving the rare tree. The fir can grow up to 22 meters in height, as tall as a seven-floor building.
