Chapter 290: Picking Up the Leak

(Recently, there have been three updates a day, and the manuscript has been exhausted, but the weekend is still far away.) I hope that all book friends will not hesitate to give Xiaobao power with subscriptions, monthly passes, and rewards, so that I can continue to adhere to the three watches tonight! )

The old gentleman looked annoyed and regretful, his face was full of distress, this golden cinnamon was very valuable, and the fifty-year-old golden cinnamon could be said to have become his treasure.

But now, because of the wrong watering, this golden cinnamon has no rejuvenation, and the major botanical clinics in Sydney have no way to treat it, and even the botanical master is very sorry to sentence Jin Gui to death, and he can't save it, after all, the root system is rotten.

Golden cinnamon is different from ordinary flowers, it is the longer the tree is more valuable. Because the ordinary young golden cinnamon is not old enough, the osmanthus flowers that bloom are pale yellow in color and have a light fragrance. However, the old golden osmanthus is different, the osmanthus in August can be called deep in color, showing golden ~ color, and the floral fragrance is also extremely strong.

What's more, this golden cinnamon was transported to Australia by a lot of effort from China, and it was difficult enough to survive in different climates and environments, but it still didn't survive.

Among flowers, cinnamon is a precious variety, and if the plant is delicate and atmospheric, its price is immeasurable.

Wang Hao, a layman, also showed regret in his eyes, after all, in his opinion, this potted plant was very good. The old golden cinnamon plant in front of me is planted in a round pot with a diameter of about 30 centimeters, and the stem is one and a half meters high.

The roots of the plant are like dragon claws inserted directly into the soil of the flower pot, and the main trunk is slanted, and the thick branches are seven or eight centimeters thick. The bark of the tree is layered like dragon scales, and the folds of the bark burst out like hills and ravines. It shows the feeling of vicissitudes of life and simplicity.

The main trunk is divided into three branches, and small branches are derived from the branches. It grows a dense canopy with emerald green leaves and toothless edges, and even a few golden buds dotted with some branches, from which a rich fragrance faintly emanates.

Even if he doesn't know how to do it, Wang Hao knows that this golden cinnamon is worth a lot of money, but he is afraid that he will definitely not be able to buy it without three or four hundred thousand yuan.

It's a pity that no matter how beautiful it is now, what is hidden is the rotten rhizome, and this golden cinnamon is so wasted.

The upper end of the bonsai also bloomed at this time. Plus it exudes a fragrance, and if it weren't for the leaves falling out, I really couldn't see anything wrong.

Wang Hao thought in his heart, and couldn't help but want to look more closely, so he unconsciously took a few steps closer to the bonsai, wanting to see what such a precious bonsai looked like.

"Huh?"

After a few closer glances, Wang Hao was surprised to find that his previous judgment was completely wrong. There are no grafted seams on the main trunk of this golden cinnamon!

Osmanthus is not cold and drought tolerant. As a bonsai cultivation is more expensive and difficult to feed, so the general cinnamon bonsai usually chooses to be grafted with rootstocks.

Usually cinnamon grafting mostly uses privet, wax or tassels, and the scion and rootstock with similar branch thickness are selected when grafting.

Cut a fusiform incision at the cinnamon scion. And cut the same height of the rootstock into a cut consistent with the size of the scion, and then put the two incisions together to make the two formation layers dense to complete the grafting project.

After successful grafting. The wound heals, leaving a graft seam at the grafting joint. But. Because rootstock and scion are not the same variety, it is not possible to achieve 100% fusion.

No matter how powerful the grafter is, it is impossible to be seamless. Even if the rootstock and scion of the same variety are used, it is impossible to graft flowers and trees without leaving a mark.

In addition to the grafting method, there are also sowing methods and cuttings methods.

However, the cuttings of osmanthus shoots do not have an obvious taproot after being buried in the soil, but are prone to grow adventitious roots everywhere.

The golden cinnamon in front of me is a distinct rhizome, then there is only one possibility, this old golden cinnamon is not a grafted or cutting, but a native golden cinnamon.

"It turned out to be a native golden cinnamon ......"

Seeing this variety of golden cinnamon clearly, Wang Hao couldn't help but gasp lightly.

Because the native cinnamon is born by seed propagation, the growth rate is much slower than that of cuttings and grafting, and the seedlings bloom late, and they can only bloom after more than ten years of planting.

But if it is a native plant, the price is several times higher.

The general rootstock grafted with cinnamon is only three or five years old.

The osmanthus grafted with rootstock is more likely to survive than the native osmanthus with cold and frost resistance, and the grafted varieties have a more important advantage than the native osmanthus, that is, the rootstock used in the grafting of golden osmanthus is easier to shape.

Whether it's privet, wax or tassel, these grafted varieties are extremely vigorous plants that can survive even if the rhizome is bent at will during the seedling stage.

It is precisely because of this characteristic that the grafted osmanthus claw-like root shape is very easy to shape, and the main stem can be twisted and coiled into any shape at will.

Some flower growers even deliberately make the trunk into simple Chinese characters, flowers and birds as gimmicks to attract attention.

It is precisely because of the grafted cinnamon as a contrast that the original cinnamon is even more rare. The native plant itself is extremely difficult to raise, and the growth rate is slow, and it is not easy to have the size of the old golden cinnamon tree in front of you.

Whether it is from the age, roots or shape of the tree is very perfect, the root shape of this old golden cinnamon is like a dragon's five claws, if it is a rootstock grafted or cuttings rhizome, it is naturally very common.

But in the words of the original old Jin Gui, this kind of dragon claw root with a trunk diameter of seven or eight centimeters can only be described as a divine skill.

"The little brother is actually an expert? You can actually recognize my native golden cinnamon. ”

The old gentleman may not have chatted with others for a long time, he leaned over to the side of the cargo box and pinched the fallen leaves of the golden cinnamon with his hand, "This is the most luxuriant time in summer, you see that it is already lifeless, and it can't last for a few days." ”

Wang Hao had already seen the lifeless appearance of the old golden cinnamon in this old golden cinnamon through his druid ability, which was not at all as full of life as the flowers and trees growing in the flowerbed next to him.

Such a result made Wang Hao feel very regretful.

To cultivate such a native old golden cinnamon, the time and energy it takes is definitely not something that can be done in three or five years simply.

Even he, an outsider, felt sorry, but one can imagine how heartbroken the old man who raised flowers was due to the death of this old Jin Gui.

If it is a simple pest or disease, ordinary flower keepers can save it, but root rot is not so simple.

Pests or germs can only hurt its surface, but root rot is the root of it, damaging the transportation fortress of plant nutrients, and the normal supply of water and nutrients can not be supplied, and this flower really has only a dead end.

Compared with a diseased plant and a healthy plant, the price is naturally not the same.

Especially like this old golden cinnamon, rotting roots means that it is terminally ill, and there is only one result if it continues to be raised. Once this pot of flowers is raised, this old golden cinnamon will be worthless.

Thinking like this, Wang Hao couldn't help but feel emotional.

Others can't save this old golden cinnamon, but he may not be able to give it a go, if he can use the druid's spells to bring the golden cinnamon back to life.

You must know that the profession of a druid is to deal with plants in the forest, and even the oak branches he took out from the space ring before can be resurrected by himself, not to mention that the old golden cinnamon in front of him is not yet dead, and there is still a glimmer of life.

Thinking of this, Wang Hao's mind flickered, this old golden cinnamon has no need to be treated in the eyes of the old man, in this case, if he wants to buy this old golden cinnamon, the price will not be too high. If you buy this pot of old golden cinnamon at the bottom price......

Wang Hao is very aware of the great effect of his magic and spells on plants, and it is not difficult to bring this golden cinnamon back to life, once this old golden cinnamon comes back to life, its value will definitely make him a lot of money.

Just do it, Wang Hao asked bluntly: "Old man, I won't tell you, I'm very interested in this pot of old golden cinnamon, I don't know if you are willing to cut your love and transfer?" ”

"You want to buy this pot of old cinnamon?"

The old man had only one feeling in his heart, did this young man's brain break down, he had to buy a pot of dead plants with rotten roots, didn't he understand what he said just now?

Wang Hao nodded solemnly: "Old man, I don't dare to say big things, I definitely can't save this flower, but it doesn't mean that it can really only wait for death." (To be continued......)
