Golden tree propagation is mainly based on seed propagation, and cuttings can also be used. However, the seeds propagate offspring easily mutate, cuttings consume materials, and the use of open source Chuangzhong Agriculture's plant non-test tube efficient and rapid propagation technology for the propagation of golden tree seedlings can carry out pure seedlings, no variation, low cost, short cycle, large-scale, industrial production of the golden tree, starting from the micro material, can directly cultivate plants growing under natural conditions, and quickly supply all sectors of society. Plant non-test tube efficient fast propagation technology is a new plant cloning new system, completely out of the laboratory conditions, seedling facilities are simple than tissue culture fast propagation input is tens of times lower, than conventional seedlings greatly save germplasm material, the amount of explants used in propagation unit material is 3-8 times less than the amount of conventional seedlings; the inoculation speed is extremely fast, 3-5 times that of tissue culture, and the labor efficiency is extremely high.
The golden tree is a tree of the family Asteraceae, Catalpa, 6–10 m tall, with an umbrella-like canopy. The canopy unfolds, the bark is gray, and the scales are cracked. The leaves are broadly ovate to ovate oval, 15–30 cm long, tapering at the ends, basal truncated or heart-shaped, with white soft hairs on the back and green glandular spots on the basal veins.

The capsules are cylindrical, black, as thick as a finger, oval in seeds, and flower in May-June and in August-September.
Golden tree likes light, slightly shade tolerant, likes warm and humid climate, drought tolerance, acidic soil, neutral soil, light salinity and calcareous soil can grow, but in order to grow densely, you should choose deep, moist, fertile and loose, well-drained soil. It has a certain degree of hardiness and can grow normally in areas where the absolute temperature is not less than 20 ° C. It is not tolerant of thin and waterlogging, deep roots, well-developed root system, strong wind resistance.
Golden tree is an aromatic plant, in addition to fragrance, disinfection of air, its fresh branches and leaves can also refine essential oil, essential oil is widely used, high value. Internationally, as a high-grade spice plant extracted from the flavor and health products and food, its price is extremely expensive, golden tree bark perfume, is currently the most popular international high-grade perfume. In addition, catalpa wood is also a high-quality material for wood tire lacquerware, musical instruments and engraving, so Chinese called the publication of books "Fu Zi", in which "Zi" means carved board. Catalpa wood is also used to make guqin base plates, and occasionally used as a back golden tree for guitars, as well as for street, sand protection, rootstock, afforestation, etc.
The medical record of Wu Zi in Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica": The fruit of Wu Zi contains natural pure fungins, which has been a traditional natural washing and care treasure fruit of the Chinese nation since ancient times, and the ming Dynasty outstanding medical scientist Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" records that "the hair washing of wu zi can remove the hair wind (dandruff) of the eyes, and the washing of the face can increase the whitening and removal of spots." "Soap pods (no-problem seeds)... October picks pods, cooks and mashes, and white noodles and incense as pills, bathes the body, removes dirt and greasy, better than soap pods also."
