Plant description:
Lacquer resin is obtained from the plant Rhus succecdanea.
The resin plant, scientifically known as Toxicodendron succecdanea, was developed by the French and turned into a profession in the early twentieth century. This is an industrial plant with high economic value. The Lacquer tree has economic value obtained from the sap – a precious source of raw materials that is essential for many industries and handicrafts such as making handicrafts (painting, attaching items made of bamboo, etc.). handicraft products, altar objects, lacquer goods, oil paint, etc.) boat painting, production of insulating materials, etc. Roots, leaves, and fruit peels are used to treat asthma, chronic hepatitis, and stomach pain. thickening, fall injuries, external use to treat broken bones, bleeding wounds, tuberculosis, etc.

Distribution
Collect lacquer
Cultivation
In the first year, one side of the lacquer tree is tapped. The following year, the opposite side is tapped. Each V-shaped cut, 8-10 cm apart, must be made with a 5-10 degree upward tilt, ensuring the resin flows inward to a collecting bottle without spillage. Crucially, the cut must be very thin, about 1mm, to ensure a long flow of high-quality resin; thicker cuts yield less and inferior sap.

Harvest time
Another difficulty is that when injecting resin, you must avoid heavy rain and sun. When it rains, the painted resin will easily overflow and not be concentrated in the shell. The collected resin will also be stale and rotten and will not last long. On the contrary, if exposed to high temperatures, it will dry the cut piece and the plastic in the bottle. Therefore, the injection time is mainly from 1-2 am to 7-8 am, and the resin injection time is around 9-10 am. If it is a sunny day, all work must finish before 9 am, so the paint cutter must Use a lamp and cut from the moment the cock crows. This hardship is also the reason why sumac trees are easy to grow but difficult to grow widely. The productivity of the Son tree is about 4 tons/ha/year.
