Bonsai knowledge: teach you to quickly identify Milan, Jiulixiang and boxwood

It may not be difficult to distinguish between the three plants, peaks and boxwood in Milan, and it may not be very clear to most people, especially plant blindness. In fact, Milan is a genus of Meria. The species belongs to rime. I'll teach you one or two tricks today.

To help you quickly identify Milan, nine kinds of traditional Chinese medicine and Wei Spear.

one. Leaf recognition method

The leaves of Milan are about 2-7 cm long and 1-3.5 cm wide, and are Obovate. Usually the leaf at the top is the largest. The smaller it is, there will be no velvet hair on either side of the leaf.

Its leaves are about 1cm long and 0.5cm wide, and are oval in shape. The leaves on both sides of the branch are asymmetrical and one side is slightly crooked.

The leaves of Populus tomentosa are about 1.5-3.5 cm long, 0.8-2 cm wide, and broadly Obovate. There will be some fine hairs on the lower part of the leaves.

From these data, we can see that Milan has the largest leaves, followed by nine leaves, and the smallest leaf is boxwood.

two. Identification method of flowers

Summer and autumn is the blooming season in Milan. Its flowers are yellow, like a yellow grain. Although the flowers in Milan are small, they are abundant in quantity and rich in fragrance.

Unlike Milan flowers in summer and autumn, usually in late summer and early autumn, the flowers are white and shaped like a small trumpet, like the intersection of leaves and branches or the top of the branches. The flowers planted are also fragrant, but not as fragrant as Milan.

Boxwood and Milan flowers are very similar in shape and color. They are like a yellow grain. The difference is that Huang Yanghua usually meets in March and April, and the flowers fall in May. Its aroma is faintly sweet.

In this way, the color and shape of Milan flowers are similar to those of nine flowers. Milan and boxwood have similar colors and shapes, and their florescence is different. Is that a good difference?

three. Identification method of fruit

The fruit of Milan smells good, just like the smell of flowers, but it tastes bitter and even numb. In addition, the mucus adhering to the outside of the fruit.

The fruit of the species is round and the meat inside is red. Generally speaking, it doesn't mature until October. There is a sticky liquid in the pulp and some short hair on the seeds.

The fruit of the spear is also round and round. There are three brackets at the bottom of the fruit, such as tripods. This is its characteristic, its fruit is blue.

With the help of these three methods, I believe that the next time you encounter these three plants, you will soon be able to separate them.
