Besides landscaping that included small ponds and foliage, Splendid China displayed models of famous landmarks in China, including the Great Wall and the Forbidden City.

Reich and his colleagues clipped small samples of foliage from their trees on a regular basis and measured the leaves' rates of respiration at temperatures ranging from 12°C (53.6°F) to 37°C (98.6°F).
Most are monocultures and are worked on short rotations to produce small poles, though foliage, bark and sometimes roots are harvested for local use.
The spatial location maps of the sampled trees in each of the four populations are provided in Figure 2. Small amounts of foliage samples were collected from each of the 394 sampled trees in plastic Ziplock bags containing silica gel.
* Insecticidal soap: This spray works well on small, soft-bodied, foliage-eating pests like aphids, mealybugs, scales, thrips, whiteflies and mites.
