What do you think is a tree full of stars?

There are many trees in our life. Today, I would like to introduce carambola trees that are easy to climb and can bear delicious fruit. It is often planted in the garden courtyard, the fruit taste sour and sweet, has a high edible value, the following let the editor to introduce the relevant knowledge of carambola planting.

Carambola, also known as carambola, is an evergreen shrub or small tree of the genus Orchidaceae. It is native to tropical Asia, rich in southern Chinese mainland and Taiwan, and the Philippines from tropical to subtropical. Fujian people call it carambola, and English call it "star fruit". Its fruit is about 6-8 cm in diameter and can be eaten as a fruit or as cooking ingredients, such as salad, western-style pickles, candied fruits, etc., which taste like pears.

Carambola is a very common kind of tree in Hainan. Like the little sister next door, it seems that it has grown from a thin and weak stem to a big tree with luxuriant leaves and fruits. Carambola flowers are very small and broken, not to mention bright, let alone delicate and beautiful, there seems to be no fragrance, a small cluster of scarlet, looming in the branches, there is a different feeling. However, the carambola flower does not have a long stem, so it is picked, so it is neither different from the bun nor inserted in a vase, so it seems that she was born to hang fruit, without the extravagant hope of fighting for beauty, and every year she will quietly bloom all over the branches according to the seasons, making the whole tree like a red star.

Planting tips

1. Sweet carambola can be planted all year round except in cold weather.

two。 The earlier the plant is planted, the longer it takes to grow, and the higher the yield of the year.

3. The planting depth is put into the hole with the soil mass, which is slightly lower than the surface, and the seedlings grow slowly if they are too deep. If the seedlings are too shallow, they are vulnerable to drought and reduce the survival rate.

4. Pay attention to drenching the root water when planting, and then drench it every day or every other day until you survive.

5. Large planting holes should be dug before planting and sufficient rotten organic matter should be applied as base fertilizer. After the soil sinks, it can be planted.

6. When planting, the seedlings should be upright, the soil around the roots should be compacted and the grass should be covered.

7. After planting, it needs to be ploughed at least once a year to promote soil weathering, good ventilation, good water permeability and conducive to root growth.

Sweet carambola has the habit of early fruiting, which is generally planted in the year and harvested at the end of the year, but there are many open spaces between rows in the initial stage, and carambola is afraid of the hot sun, so it is required to grow best in semi-shady and humid environment.
