     NATURAL REGENERATION : by Seeds and Coppices.
     ARTIFICIAL REGENERATION : ① Coppice or by ② Seeds (but it required weathering
    treatments to remove its hard seed coat dormancy), ③ Stump plantation, which will
    be prepared by 1-year-old seedlings with a collar diameter of 1-2 cm. And sometime
    ④ Dona plantation or poly-bag plantation
    Verbinaceae
