Chapter 295: Golden Silk Weeping Willow

"These three-year-old peach trees cost 400 yuan each, and a five-year-old peach tree costs 800 yuan."

Boss Lin thought for a while and said, Boss Li knew that this was definitely a big money owner, but he didn't dare to open too high a price, lest this money owner run away.

"It's just a three-year-old peach tree, at this price, Boss Li, you have to lower it for me again." Yun Tao said, Yun Tao knew that there was still room for bargaining at this price.

"This..., Boss Yun, if you don't take a look at the other trees, I'll give you a preferential price when the time comes."

Boss Li said with some embarrassment, after all, there are only 100 extra-large peach saplings, and there is only a list of about 40,000 yuan, which is not a big list, and there will not be too much discount on this price.

"Okay, Boss Li, I want to buy thirty willows, do you have any good willows to introduce?" Yun Tao asked.

The willow branches are flexible, the leaves are narrow and long, the yellow-green flowers bloom in spring, the seeds have white hairs, and when they mature, they scatter with the wind, and the willow can reproduce asexually, mainly with the growth of willow roots.

"Unintentionally planted willows into the shade", willows have unparalleled adaptability, easy to plant, willows do not have the majesty of pines, nor are they as upright and unyielding as poplars.

The main trunk of the willow tree usually grows branches at two or three meters away, and the smooth and soft branches are like silk and drooping. The willow leaves are single-leaf alternate, the leaves are narrow but the width is appropriate, and the shape is like a girl's slender eyebrows, just like "hibiscus is like a willow like an eyebrow".

"I don't know what kind of willow tree Boss Lu Daoyun wants?" Boss Li asked.

"Are there many more species of this willow? Are there any differences between them? ”

Yun Tao asked, Yun Tao is a rookie in this regard, and he only knows a little about willow trees. What is the difference? I just don't know anything.

"This willow tree is divided into weeping willow and dry willow. Weeping willow, also known as willow, is a deciduous tree, and dry willow is also called wolfberry willow, also known as river willow, is a deciduous shrub. ”

Boss Li said that Yun Tao did not know the type of willow tree, but Boss Li understood very well that he did not specialize in tree planting. Where will it be so specific.

"Does it make a difference?" Yun Tao asked.

"This willow is generally relatively tall, the bark is dark grayish-black, longitudinally lobed, the branches are erect or obliquely spread, brownish-yellowish-green, later brownish, glabrous, and the young branches are hairy; The buds are brown and slightly hairy. The leaves are lanceolate. The apex is long and acuminate, and the base is narrowly rounded or wedge-shaped. Green above, glabrous, pale below, filiform pubescence when young, finely serrated leaf margins, short petioles, I don't have many here, only about twenty plants. ”

"The weeping willow crown is broadly obovate, and the bark is grayish-black, irregularly dehisced. The twigs are slender and drooping, brown, light brown or light yellowish brown. Leaves narrowly lanceolate or strip-lanceolate, apex long and acuminate, base wedge-shaped, margins finely serrate"

Boss Li explained to Yuntao that there are more people who have bought willow trees over the years, and Boss Li has planted a lot of willow trees, so he also knows a lot about this knowledge.

"Boss Li, I want to plant willow trees on the edge of the reservoir, what kind of willow trees do you think I should plant."

Yun Tao asked, anyway, he didn't know the characteristics of willows, so it was better to consult a professional like Boss Li.

"If it's planted near the water, I suggest you plant a golden weeping willow." Boss Li proposed.

"Weeping willows?"

Yun Tao asked, what is the golden silk weeping willow, Yun Tao really hasn't heard of it.

"Golden silk weeping willow is an excellent garden ornamental tree species, should be cultivated on the shore, beside the water, the tree posture is beautiful, the disease resistance is strong, the vegetative reproduction is easy, the branches grow fast and droop naturally, the tree shape is beautiful, the golden branches of the tree in winter are like a yellow silk, bright and dazzling, the yellow branches and green sprouts in spring complement each other, the beauty is abnormal, the summer and autumn season is thick shade and the sun, the eyes are full of verdant, intoxicating."

"And it also has three very good advantages: one is not flying catkins in spring and summer, the second is that the annual growth is twice that of ordinary willows, and the secondary shoots can be pumped 3~4 times a year, and the third is that the branches and trunks are smooth, and they are golden yellow, and the ornamental value is high, and it is a particularly popular garden ornamental tree species bought in recent years."

Boss Li strongly recommended that in terms of ornamental characteristics alone, this golden weeping willow is definitely a well-deserved king among willows.

"And what about the price?" Yuntao was very impressed by this golden weeping willow, so he asked about the price.

"Golden silk willow trees that are more than five years old are more expensive, ranging from 8,000 to tens of thousands for a tree, and this depends on the shape of the tree." Boss Li said.

"What if I want this golden willow sapling under a year old?"

Yun Tao asked, Yun Tao felt that he had "Advanced Planting Technique", it was better to buy small seedlings and plant them himself, not to mention the cheap price, the shape of the tree planted after the most was definitely stronger than that planted by this Boss Li, which Yun Tao was very confident about.

"Willow saplings are much cheaper, eighty for one plant."

Boss Li said, these saplings are really not very valuable, they have just been planted on the ground for a long time, and they do not cost much, and more importantly, the saplings are sold, and they can be planted with other saplings.

"Then give me a hundred."

When Yuntao heard that it was only 80 yuan a plant, it didn't take a lot of money, so he asked for a hundred plants at once, and Yuntao was going to plant this willow tree on both sides of the reservoir.

"Okay, I didn't ask, Mr. Yun doesn't know if you need other saplings?" Boss Li said happily, after all, after a while, he already has 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in his pocket.

"How do you buy the osmanthus tree here?" Yun Tao looked at the osmanthus tree in front of him and asked.

The osmanthus tree is elegant, with green branches and green leaves, evergreen in all seasons, and the fragrance is pleasant. Osmanthus is an evergreen broad-leaved tree, up to 15 meters high, the crown can cover 400 square meters, the osmanthus seedlings have obvious taproots, the root system is developed and deep, the leaf surface is smooth, leathery, the paraaxial surface is dark and bright green, and the distal axis surface is light.

Yuntao remembers that the myth has the story of "Wu Gang cutting Gui", the legend says that there is a laurel tree in the Moon Palace, five hundred zhang high, Wu Gang, a native of Hexi in the Han Dynasty, was punished to cut Gui in the middle of the month because he did not follow the rules of the Tao when he learned immortals, but this tree can not be cut down with the cut.

Tens of millions of years have passed, Wu Gang always works hard every day to cut down the tree, and the magical laurel tree is still the same, full of vitality, every Mid-Autumn Festival, the fragrance is overflowing, only on the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Gang rested under the tree for a while, and spent the reunion festival with the world.

Osmanthus tree is a symbol of nobility, chastity, honor, friendship and auspiciousness. The myth of "Moon Palace Immortal Gui" gives the world endless reverie, in the long-term historical development process, osmanthus has formed a profound cultural connotation and distinctive national characteristics in China.

"It depends on what kind of osmanthus tree Mr. Yun wants to buy." Boss Li said that after all, the price of different types of osmanthus trees varies greatly.

"Are there several other types of osmanthus?" Yun Tao asked curiously.

"According to different ways of distinguishing osmanthus, there can be four major species, and their prices are also very different." Boss Li said.

"Boss Li, can you explain it to me?" Yun Tao said.

"There is no problem with this, the osmanthus tree is divided into August laurel, four seasons laurel, and dangui, of which there are golden osmanthus and silver osmanthus in August laurel. Cinnamon is the most fragrant and expensive variety of osmanthus tree varieties, although the four seasons of osmanthus bloom in all seasons, but the floral fragrance is very light. ”

"Can you be more detailed?"

Yun Tao said that since he wants to buy an osmanthus tree, Yun Tao still wants to understand the difference, and according to the situation, Yun Tao can know which osmanthus tree he chooses.

"No problem, the leaf edge of this cinnamon is serrate, wider than the leaf of osmanthus, the flower color is different shades of yellow, the fragrance is strong or very strong, the flowers are easier to fall off, and the flowering period is autumn. It is the most commonly cultivated type in various places. ”

"The leaf edge of the silver laurel is smoother, the leaves are larger, the flowers are yellowish-white or yellowish, the fragrance is lighter, the flowers are more firm, the flowering period is autumn, and the general cultivation is less."

"The tail tip of the cinnamon is relatively long, some leaf margins are more wavy, the flower color is orange-yellow or orange-red, very beautiful, but the fragrance is lighter, and it blooms in autumn. Although the flower color of osmanthus is more gorgeous, due to the light fragrance, the number of cultivation in various places is not as much as that of golden cinnamon. ”

"Four seasons laurel: the leaves are round and almost no tail tip, the small branches are somewhat loose, the flowering period is easier to distinguish, the flowers are yellowish white or light yellow, the fragrance is light, but the flowers bloom several times a year, and the autumn is more numerous. Because of the many flowering, although the fragrance is light, it is still very popular with people, and it is often potted for indoor decoration. ”

"The small branches of golden cinnamon, silver cinnamon and red cinnamon are relatively straight and grow upward, in the form of trees; The four seasons laurel plants are shorter, weaker, and often shrub-like. ”

Boss Li explained to Yun Tao in detail, this laurel tree is much more expensive than the willow tree, if this Mr. Yun can buy a large number of laurel trees, he will have a lot of income.

"How much is one of each type of laurel tree, I'm talking about saplings under one year."

Yuntao said, the osmanthus tree is very expensive, but the sapling is estimated to be not expensive, it is more cost-effective to buy the sapling, he has "advanced planting techniques" in hand, what are you afraid of, I don't have much money left now, if I buy an adult laurel tree, Yuntao suspects that he didn't buy a few, and he will go bankrupt.

"If you buy the flowers of osmanthus saplings, it is much cheaper." Boss Li said that he was still disappointed in his heart, and if he bought an adult laurel tree, he would have made it himself.

"How much is a plant?" Yun Tao asked again.

"This golden laurel sapling is one hundred and eleven, the silver laurel sapling is eighty-one, the four seasons laurel seedling is one hundred and twenty-one, and this osmanthus sapling is more expensive, it costs two hundred and twenty-one." Boss Li said.

"In this way, then give me ten saplings of the four seasons laurel trees, and five of the other laurel trees each." Yun Tao said.

……

In this way, Yuntao followed Boss Li around the garden and bought ten persimmon trees, ten bayberry trees, ten mango trees, and twelve grape trees of different varieties.

Ornamental plants didn't buy much, that is, he bought three ginkgo saplings and about 20 rich bamboos, Yuntao planned to choose a place with a slightly lower water level on the edge of the reservoir to plant this rich bamboo. (To be continued......)
