Super Orchard

Chapter 247 Rosaceae

More than 300 people were busy on the [-]-acre land, and it only took two days to plant all the watermelons in such a large area.

In the past two days, Shen Yangguang has not been idle, and has been in contact with Zhao Chunqiu's fruit research institute to purchase fruit tree seedlings.

On the [-] mu of land to the north of the watermelon field, Shen Yangguang planned to plant pears, peaches, plums, and apricots. These fruits are very common in the north, and the research institutes in the provincial capital happen to have these fruits.

However, Shen Yangguang now plans to plant [-] acres of each fruit. Such a large planting area will be ten times larger than the previous tens of acres of greenhouses, and the number of fruit tree seedlings needed is also a huge number. Research The institute can't produce so many fruit seedlings at once!
Shen Yangguang originally wanted to buy enough three-year-old fruit saplings, and after planting them, they could bloom and bear fruit in the second year, but all the three-year-old fruit saplings in the Fruit Research Institute were taken out, and there was only enough for Shen Yangguang to plant three-year-old fruit trees. Although there are still others in one area, they are all annual or biennial fruit tree seedlings.

So many fruit trees of different seedling ages are planted together. Although it is said that they will look similar after a few years, there is no difference, but at the beginning of planting, one third of them will bloom and bear fruit this year, and another third will bring another third next year. One, by the next year, there will be another third of the flowers blooming and bearing fruit again, which seems too messy and inconvenient to manage.

While Shen Yangguang was struggling, he called the Southern Fruit Seedling Company. The nursery there was even bigger, and all the fruit tree seedlings Shen Yangguang needed could be met, but all the fruit tree seedlings sold there were ordinary varieties.

The fruit research institute in the provincial capital is different. These fruits are all high-yielding varieties bred through research, and the yield can be half as much as that of ordinary varieties.

After receiving the reply from Southern Fruit Seedling Company, Shen Yangguang was even more entangled, and finally made up his mind to buy fruits from the Fruit Tree Research Institute. Although it is troublesome to plant and manage fruits of different seedling ages together, it is only troublesome for the first two years, and it will be the same in the later period , Moreover, the yield of these fruit trees is higher, which can bring more benefits to the orchard.

For these fruit tree seedlings purchased, there are many similarities.

Pears and apples are similar in size, but they taste and taste different.

Peaches and plums are also very similar. Apart from some differences in size, the taste and taste of some varieties are also very similar. There is an old saying in our country called "Peaches and plums are all over the world". A close relationship with plums.

Plums and apricots are similar in size and appearance, but they are different in color. The general variety of plums is purple when ripe, while apricots are yellow.

In addition to the similar fruits, the fruit trees are even more similar. Whether it is the branches and leaves or the shape of the fruit trees, it is difficult for most people who have not learned this knowledge to identify these types.

The reason why these fruits have many similarities is mainly because they are all "relatives" of the plant kingdom and belong to the Rosaceae family.

Rosaceae is a very powerful species in the plant kingdom. There are more than 100 genera and more than 3000 varieties of plants. On average, among all plants in nature, a family has an average of [-] species, but Rosaceae contains The number of species is thirty times the average number!
So many Rosaceae plants are distributed in various parts of the world, among which there are more than 51 species of 1000 genera native to my country, accounting for nearly half of the total.

In this genus, it contains a large number of fruits and ornamental flowers, the most representative ones are rose and rose.

It also contains a lot of fruits, except for peaches, plums, pears, apricots, and apples, strawberries, cherries, plums, hawthorns, loquats, etc., are all of this species.

Plants in the Rosaceae family come in a variety of growth forms, including herbaceous shrubs and small trees.The pears, peaches, plums, and apricots that Shen Yangguang plans to plant this time are all Rosaceae trees, so the fruit trees are very similar.

These kinds of fruit trees are small deciduous trees, generally about a few meters high, and the highest will not exceed ten meters. The branches, leaves and flowers also have many similarities.

Two days passed, and when the [-] mu of watermelons were planted in the orchard, truckloads of new fruit tree seedlings were also transported to the orchard. .

The employees of the orchard didn't know Shen Yangguang's entanglement in purchasing fruit tree seedlings. When they saw four kinds of fruit tree seedlings with different heights and thicknesses, they were a little dazzled.

For so many years, the fruit saplings purchased by Jinquan Orchard are all of the same age. This is the first time that such a complicated situation has occurred. Shen Yangguang does not want to explain too much. The managers and supervisors of various departments started a meeting.

"In the northernmost part of the Xiben block, a thousand acres of pears are planted, including more than 300 acres of annual pear trees, more than 300 acres of biennial pear trees, and more than 300 acres of three-year pear trees, which are planted together in sequence. .”

"On the south side of the pears, another [-] acres of peaches and [-] acres of plums are planted. Each fruit tree is also planted in sequence according to the age of the seedlings."

"On the south side of the road, that is, on the north side of the watermelon field, a thousand acres of apricots are planted, and they are also planted according to the age of the seedlings."

After arranging everything, Shen Yangguang was still worried that there would be too many people and fruit trees, and it would be easy to confuse the fruit tree saplings in a hurry, so he personally held a meeting with the staff of the logistics department and asked them to deliver each fruit tree to the reserved location , and other employees are digging planting holes and are responsible for planting fruit trees.

In this way, a special person is responsible for fixing each fruit tree in a certain position, and the four kinds of twelve types of fruit trees will not be easily confused, and the planting will be more orderly.

The fruit trees are gradually erected on the vast land, and the order is very spectacular. Unlike the watermelons crawling on the ground, these fruit trees are very suitable for irrigation by the drip irrigation system.

When planting these fruit trees, it is the same as planting watermelon and orange grapefruit planted last year. Because there are too many fruit trees, Shen Yangguang can't transmit a golden airflow to each fruit tree, and the golden airflow in his body is not enough for these fruit trees to share. of.

Therefore, Shen Yangguang adopted the practice of last year, that is, when watering the fruit trees, the golden air flow was introduced into the river water, and after the river water was diluted, each fruit tree was irrigated by the criss-cross drip irrigation system, which satisfied The growth of fruit trees requires water, and it can also absorb a small amount of diluted golden airflow.
