Eva gave him the sapling, "This is a sapling of almond eucalyptus, well, not a very precious tree, but it is very suitable for growing with a town because it has a long lifespan." ”

After knowing the name, Wang Bo learned the identity of the tree, and some time ago, when he was planning to plant trees on both sides of the road, he saw information about most of the trees suitable for planting in New Zealand.

Almond eucalyptus is a long-lived giant tree, native to the Australian grasslands, can generally grow to more than 100 meters, the tallest tree king is 156 meters, 14 meters taller than the tallest giant sequoia general Sheman tree in the Americas, equivalent to the height of a 50-story building!

The tree is known to the Maori as the Tsutu Tamu, which translates to "the tallest tower in the world of trees".

In addition to its astonishing height, it also has a strange feature of the extremely tall almond eucalyptus tree, which has little shade under the tree. This is because its leaves are slender and curved, and the sides are facing upwards, and the leaf surface is parallel to the direction of the day's rays, as if hanging from the branches, so that sunlight can pour through the gaps in the leaves and do not block the light.

Wang Bo took the sapling and said happily: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Eva, you are so caring, I will plant this tree at the intersection of Highway 8 into the town, I believe it will become a landmark tree in the future." ”

The growth of almond eucalyptus is very fast, don't look at it is just such an inconspicuous small tree now, as long as the living environment is suitable, it can grow into a tree more than ten meters high within four or five years, and then start a faster growth journey against the sky.

Eva smiled, "I thought you would plant it in the wetlands by the lake, it would repel mosquitoes, you know?" ”

Wang Bo did know that when he learned about almond eucalyptus at that time, the first introduction he saw was that the root system of this tree was 30 meters long, the roots were deep and wide, and the water absorption was particularly large, and it had the nickname of "** pumping machine".

Eva is not quite right, it does not repel mosquitoes, but it can stop mosquito breeding.

Mosquitoes mostly lay their eggs in swampy wetlands and stagnant ponds full of sewage, and almond eucalyptus has a strong ability to absorb water, and planting in this environment can absorb a lot of surrounding water, so that there is no sewage, and there are no mosquitoes.

It absorbs a lot of water and evaporates a lot of water, and it is said that this tree can evaporate a staggering 175 tons of water per year when it reaches adulthood.

At the beginning, Wang Bo wanted to plant almond eucalyptus, and he wanted to plant a jungle of giant trees, which could beautify the environment and produce economic benefits.

You must know that the wood of almond eucalyptus is an excellent material for making boats, cars, and electric poles, and it is not cement telephone poles that are now erected in Sunset Town, but charred almond eucalyptus trunks.

In addition, valuable tanning materials or gums can be extracted from the trees of this tree. Its leaves have a special fragrance, which can be used to refine eucalyptus oil, one of the main raw materials of eucalyptus sugar, is eucalyptus oil, which has the effect of cooling and relieving cough.

However, after a detailed understanding, I learned that almond eucalyptus is not suitable for planting in large quantities around farms and pastures, because its water absorption capacity is too strong, which will cause severe damage to groundwater resources, and will also compete with crops and pastures for water.

However, it is still fine to plant a small amount, and it is more suitable if it is planted at the entrance of the town's road, and once it grows to more than 100 meters, it can indeed become a landmark plant in Sunset Town.

After getting the almond eucalyptus, Wang Bo stopped going to work, went to Private Uncle Benjamin to borrow a military shovel, and happily took Eva and Daier to plant trees.

Benjamin's son, the soldier Gerald, raised two Pitbulls, and these two little ones looked fierce, and when they saw Lao Wang enter the door, they put on an attacking posture.

As a result, they barked twice, and when the strong man heard the news, he rushed to him, and he did not need to speak, but glared at the two pitbulls, who immediately closed his mouth very cowardly.

Pitbulls are used exclusively as fighting dogs, and they are a fierce breed of dog that is not allowed in New Zealand's cities. But in the face of several heavyweight strong men who are larger, the two guys don't have the slightest temper.

They were abused by Zhuang Ding, Zhuang Ding followed Lao Wang to work, and walked around the town when it was okay ****, and the dogs raised by the townspeople were all cleaned up by it.

Wang Bo chose the place to plant the trees at the east entrance of Highway 8 into the town, that is, the direction from Aocheng into the town.

It is more than 30 kilometers away from the center of the town, surrounded by a vast flat grassland, and a big tree more than 100 meters high on the flat ground is even more shocking.

Planting trees, a fat rabbit ran out of the bushes, and the strong man turned around and chased after him, jumped up after running a few steps, opened his mouth to catch the rabbit, and then ran back with a fart in his mouth.

Eva patted it on the head and smiled, "Wow, what a capable kid." ”

Wang Bo invited Eva and Dale to the dessert house for coffee and dessert, and Harris Bohn, the former owner of the M151E2 jeep, came to the town some time ago and cooperated with a friend to rent a small building, with a dessert shop on the first floor and a coffee house on the second floor.

Seeing this, Eva said: "If you want to eat some dessert, then there is no need to spend money here, go to my house, I think the dessert I make is not bad." ”

Little Lori nodded vigorously when she heard this: "Mmmmmmmm, my sister's stir-fry is very, very, very bad, but her dessert is very, very, very good!" ”

Wang Bo doesn't pursue the taste of desserts, he usually doesn't eat snacks, desserts are a kind of meal for New Zealanders, and they are snacks for him.

However, it felt good to be a guest at Eva's new home, so he gladly agreed.

Harris, who was entertaining customers, saw them, and he beckoned and asked, "Mayor Mare, would you like to try my handiwork?" I've heard you're a good cook, but you can't make a dessert like mine. ”

Wang Bo smiled: "Of course, I admit this, but I'm not here to eat, uh, I'm just driving by here to say hello to you, bye-bye!" ”

The jeep slipped away, and Harris was smug in the back: he seemed to have a lot of status in the town, and the mayor had come to greet him.

Eva lived in a residential area of the town, which was still a building block house, located at the east end of the first row, across China Road, quiet and peaceful.

When Wang Bo passed by the convenience store, Wang Bo asked if she wanted to buy some condiments, and Eva shook her head, saying that she often makes desserts, so the utensils and ingredients at home are enough.

After getting out of the car, Eva invited Wang Bo to sit in the living room and watch TV, while she went to the kitchen and began to prepare desserts.

How can Lao Wang sit on the sofa and have the heart to watch TV? Looking at the beautiful teacher who is busy in the kitchen, my heart is throbbing: I can go up to the hall and down to the kitchen, a good wife and mother! (To be continued.) )
