Report from Maryland Trade Mission to China

"The best time to plant a tree is 20 years ago. The second-best time to plant a tree is today". -- Remarks by Secretary John McDonough at the Anhui Botanical Gardens

dig

The species, native to the US, has been cultivated all over the world and represents a special link between the US and Anhui for many years.
