Abstract: The new variety of ‘E Sha 1’ was selected from Cunninghamia lanceolata cv. Luotian which is a natural variation of C. lanceolata. The new variety grows well with straight trunk, strong adaptability, and strong tolerance to barren and wet. The main morphylogical characteristics are thinner and narrower crowns, shorter branches and the naturally drooping and deciduous old shoots compared with ordinary. The new variety can be propagated by root suckers, grafting or cutting, and can be widely cultivated in the areas in which ordinary C. lanceolata adapts.

Key words: ‘E Sha 1’, Cunninghamia lanceolata, new variety
