Many cultivars have been introduced in horticulture, so perhaps J.chinensis is the most popular ornamental tree or shrub in gardens and parks worldwide. The volatile oil of the leaves is dominated by sabinene (13-43%) and ethyl acetate (13-20%), with cultivar-depending amounts of α-pinene (1-22%), limonene (1-14%), myrcene, terpineole, bornyl acetate and cedrol.

The acaricidal component of J.chinensis leaves oil was identified as bornyl acetate, with an LD50 of bornyl acetate (2.94 μg/cm2) against D. farinae significantly lower than those of DEET (37.13 μg/cm2) and α-eudesmol (29.72 μg/cm2).
