Where is the origin of grass and fruit?

The producing areas of grass and fruit are mainly in Yunnan, Guangxi, Guizhou and other provinces and regions. Grass fruit can also be called grass nut, grass fruit, which belongs to traditional Chinese medicine for both medicine and food. Generally cultivated or wild under sparse forests, 1100-1800 m above sea level.

Cultivation techniques of grass and fruit

1. Land selection: choose fertile valleys or streams, cut down too many trees, control shade at 50%, remove weeds, and turn the ground to crumble the soil.

2. Planting: the planting site is selected on the moist and fertile land with shade on the edge of the forest and the edge of the ditch. Turn 20-27 cm deep, and after weathering for a period of time, you can dig a hole with a width of about 13 cm and a depth of 7-10 cm according to the plant distance of 1.3-1.7 m, straighten the seedling in the hole and compact it with soil cover. It is often planted before and after the Spring Equinox.

3. Weeding: weeding is carried out from April to June and from 10 to 12 months after fruit harvest to prevent trampling on rhizomes and aboveground stems.

4. Cultivate the soil: cultivate the soil before flowering to make the buds grow healthily. if you find that the roots are exposed, you should fertilize the soil to facilitate the roots to absorb nutrients.

5, drainage irrigation: in the flowering season, if the rainfall is too much, it will cause rotten flowers, on the contrary, too dry, flowers easy to dry, resulting in reduced production. Therefore, if there is a drought, water should be diverted for irrigation if possible. If Rain Water is too much, we should do a good job of drainage, remove weeds and reduce humidity to reduce bud decay. In the flowering season, if there is a rain in May-July, it is beneficial to the fruit and fruit preservation, and the yield is also high.

6. renewal and pruning: the leaves of grass and fruit should be renewed every year, and the dead old plants should be cut off in time to facilitate the growth of new plants. Some over-dense branches and leaves can be harvested properly when pruning, which can be used for essential oil production. The time of pruning and picking leaves is carried out after fruit harvest from October to November.
