Summary
In total, 600 two-year-old and three-year-old saplings of the critically endangered Chinese endemic huagaimu were translocated into the species’ natural range. There were very low survival rates (2 and 20 per cent respectively) of translocated individuals at two sites in Xichou county, with a much higher survival rate of 74 per cent at two sites in Maguan county. The over-riding determinant of translocation success is considered to be the difference in horticultural practices used in the different translocations, with much more favourable outcomes associated with greater horticultural training and expertise.
