Later, Melia azedarach became one of the rare tree species in China, and was praised for its stout trunk, hard wood, corrosion resistance and crack resistance.

The ancients compared camphor tree and neem tree, not only because of their differences in value, but also because of their symbolic significance.

Although the role of camphor tree in modern society is not as important as before, it is still a popular plant, and I believe many people will keep a pot at home.
