No matter how much people berate the beefwood, today it makes up the main strength of Taiwan's wind-barrier coastal forests. It can withstand drought and fight the wind. At least we still have it to act as a green guarantor in the coastal forests we have destroyed.
不論人們多痛惡木麻黃，今天台灣海岸確實倚賴它為防風主力，它耐旱、抗風，在我們自己把海岸天然林破壞光了，至少還有它作為綠色的保障。
