Abstract: In order to improve the effect in garden greening of camphor tree and give full play to the people's living environment and the function of healthcare. The paper took camphor tree resources of Fujian Province as the research object, adopted the method of laboratory distillation to extract camphor oil, analyzed the main component of the oil and classified the different biochemical types of camphor tree. By analyzing the types of Cinnamomum camphora in-depth, the results showed that there were significant differences of oil content and glycols content among the different organs of Cinnamomum camphora and the leaf had the highest content; there were also significant differences of oil content and glycols content among clones and the selected superior individual could obtain more than 50% of the gain; the comprehensive oil rate could reach 1.77%, the glycols content could reach 95.9% and the camphor could be less than 0.30% by selecting eight Cinnamomum camphora good clones. If it can be applied to the practice of landscaping, it can get the good effect of achieving maximum results with little effort in greening, aromatization and beautification and has very high useful value and economic value.
