Super Orchard

Chapter 294 Passion Fruit

After asking about the row spacing of the mysterious fruit cultivation, Shen Yangguang immediately bought more than 2 mysterious fruit trees, and at once bought out all the mysterious fruit saplings in the Fruit Tree Research Institute.

Because the miracle fruit is a tropical shrub, the plants are not tall, and the land required for cultivation is not large. The distance between plants and rows is 120 meters by 2 meters. This greenhouse covers an area of ​​[-] mu. More than [-] miracle fruits can be planted.

When the miracle fruit goes on sale in the future, Shen Yangguang has another idea, which is to sell not only the fruit, but also the leaves!
Because this kind of leaf has the effect of natural monosodium glutamate, it is not only natural and harmless, but also tastes very delicious. I believe that after it is recognized by consumers, the sales will be very good. Besides, it is not surprising that the leaves are sold in fruit shops.

As for the other greenhouse, Shen Yangguang has already decided to plant passion fruit. The Southern Fruit Seedling Company has a large number of passion fruit saplings to buy, and Shen Yangguang bought [-] of them in one go.

Because passion fruit is similar to wild grapes and Bufona, they are all vines, and scaffolding needs to be erected for climbing. Therefore, before the fruit saplings were bought, Shen Yangguang began to arrange employees to follow the set row spacing Start digging a hole to build a scaffolding.

The fruit trees of passion fruit are thicker than wild grapes, so the distance between plants and rows is also larger. It covers an area of ​​about three meters by more than two meters. More than 80 trees can be planted in one mu of land, and the entire 120 mu greenhouse can be planted. Ten thousand trees.

Passion fruit is a herbaceous vine, its scientific name is Passiflora, and it also has a beautiful alias called Love Fruit.

Because the rich fruit juice contains 160 five kinds of fruit aromas such as pineapple, banana, strawberry, apple, sour plum, mango, and more than 130 two kinds of aromatic substances, it is called passion fruit and is a world-famous spice fruit. The reputation of "King of Juice".

In addition to the delicious taste of the juice, passion fruit can be eaten raw or made into vegetables. Adding carbonic acid and sugar to the pulp juice can make an aromatic and delicious drink.

The fruit of passion fruit contains [-] kinds of amino acids needed by the human body, multivitamins and carotenoids, the taste is moderately sweet and sour, and the nutritional value is very high.

Passion fruit also has strong medicinal value, and it has exciting and strong effects when used as medicine.

The superfiber contained in it can go deep into the most subtle part of the stomach, can deeply clean the mechanism, and has a special effect on eliminating some gastrointestinal inflammations.

Similarly, passion fruit can also detoxify and nourish the skin, shape the body, and promote metabolism. The ingredients contained in it can remove free radicals in the body and play an anti-aging role.

In addition to these edible values, the economic value of passion fruit is also very high, because this fruit has strong adaptability and vigorous growth. It can be harvested almost in the same year when it is cultivated. It is put into production early and has high yield. More than [-] catties.

In addition, passion fruit also has the advantages of good quality, durable storage and wide market, and has the reputation of "money tree" abroad.

When talking on the phone with Zhao Chunqiu before, Shen Yangguang knew that passion fruit is different from other fruit trees, that is, after other fruit trees are planted, they can usually bear fruit for decades, but the economic cultivation period of passion fruit is only four or five years. year.

This is not because passion fruit trees can only live for four or five years, but because passion fruit, a tropical fruit, is very susceptible to virus infection, which reduces the yield and quality of fruit trees, so it is necessary to renew the saplings in time.

However, Shen Yangguang has a golden airflow. After absorbing the golden airflow, all the fruit trees in Jinquan Orchard have never been infected with the virus. Therefore, for passion fruit, Shen Yangguang also plans to take a look at it after planting it. If it takes four or five years The fruit trees are still growing vigorously and are in the fruit-bearing period, so there is no need to cut down the fruit trees and replant them.

When all the planting holes in the two greenhouses were dug and the scaffolding was completed, the passion fruit and miracle fruit saplings were also transported into the orchard. It was still some time before the mangoes matured. So he took the opportunity to lead the staff to start planting fruit trees.

In addition to carrying the fruit trees into the golden airflow, Shen Yangguang kept flipping through the cultivation manual.

Passion fruit, like other fruit trees, needs to be pruned, but because of the nature of the passion fruit tree, pruning must be done in moderation.

After the passion fruit is planted, rely on the scaffolding to lure the main vines to the support. When the main vines grow to a height of one meter, you need to cut off the top buds to let the fruit trees start to grow side buds, leaving two side vines on each side , growing on both sides.

When the side vines grow to a height of two meters, the top buds of the side vines need to be cut off to promote the growth of secondary side vines, so that the side vines of the passion fruit tree can grow evenly around.

However, heavy pruning of passion fruit trees is very taboo. Do not force pruning when pruning every year. If pruning is excessive, it is easy to make the main vine gradually wither, and in severe cases, the whole fruit tree may die.

Even though these fruit trees are blessed with golden airflow, Shen Yangguang is particularly concerned about this. He doesn't want to see the fruit trees that he has worked so hard to wither due to excessive pruning.

Another advantage of the passion fruit tree is that it is relatively drought-tolerant, but severe drought still requires irrigation, because the soil is too dry, which will affect the development of vines and fruits. In severe cases, the branches will wither, the fruits will not develop, and large areas will occur Fruit drop phenomenon seriously affects the harvest.

After flipping through the cultivation manual again, the staff in the shed were still busy planting, so Shen Yangguang walked out of the door and came to the small ridge on the north side of the valley.

The height of this ridge is about [-] meters, and it can usually block the orchard from the wind. Standing here, you can have a panoramic view of the entire valley.

Shen Yangguang's eyes moved slowly from the east to the west, and all he could see were greenhouses. Different fruit trees were planted in each greenhouse. Now, except for the open space reserved in the westernmost part of the valley, the rest of the valley is full of trees. Full of fruit trees.

Thinking back to the beginning, there were only more than 100 acres of apple trees in the entire orchard, and then slowly developed to plant wild grapes and strawberries, and then introduced the first tropical fruit tree, mango. Since then, Jinquan Orchard has entered a large-scale development fast lane.

Today's Golden Spring Orchard has filled the entire valley, with an area of ​​nearly [-] mu, which is nearly [-] times larger than it was at the beginning, and the annual increase in income is so high that it cannot be calculated.

In addition to here, Jinquan Orchard now has an additional [-] mu of ordinary orchards. Thinking of the fruit trees all over the mountains and plains, Shen Yangguang couldn't help sighing.
