Definition
玉树 literally means 'jade tree', and it's primarily known as the name of a prefecture-level city in Qinghai Province, Tibet. As a literary metaphor, it refers to a strikingly handsome and talented young person—often used in 玉树临风, which describes someone with elegant, refined bearing. The 'locust tree' sense is rare and not the main usage you'll encounter.
