Environment
Dundgobi /MONTSAME/ A very rare 'tooroi tree' registered in the Red Book of Mongolia have been planted in Dundgobi aimag for the first time, with an initiative of NAB Group director B.Amarsanaa. Though tooroi, one of the species of populous tree is a Gobi desert plant, it does not grow in Dundgobi aimag.
“- We planted 60 tooroi trees. The tree needs a lot of watering. If these trees accustom to soil and grows well, we will plant more next year” said Mr.B.Amarsanaa. The trees will grow edging foothill of the Bor Ovoo Hill, in a park of Mandalgobi city. The tree seedlings were brought from the Alxa League (Alshaa aimag) of Inner Mongolia, autonomous region of PRC, where a forest of tooroi grows, attracting hundreds of tourists.
Root of tooroi tree spread deep underground; reaches the underground water in depth of tens of meter and absorbs water in it, surviving in harsh dry climate. The Aspen type tree grows in couloirs, close to mountain spring, besides in the Gobi. It grows in Umnugobi, Khovd and Gobi-Altai aimags, covering small areas. Citizens of Saintsagaan soum supported the initiative and involved in the planting.
The Mandalgobi city Maintainance and Greenery Service and Environment and Tourism Office will be in charge of watering the trees, paying attention to growing the new type of tree safe and vivacious.
