Last Updated: 2024/11/10, Large, fleshy "agave" in rural areas, which blooms only once in a lifetime, and its juice is poisonous, but it can make fine wine.

Now it is also popular to grow "succulent plants" in rural areas, just because they are evergreen, fat and lovely. In some farmers' homes will find a large succulent, it looks like aloe but larger than aloe, it is the famous "tequila".

Tequila is a different kind of succulent plant. It blossoms only once in its life, but its juice is poisonous but it can turn into wine. It is precisely because it is different that it appears to be more noble and colder.

Tequila is a perennial evergreen plant of the asparagus family, also known as tequila and flax. It is native to Central America and is known for its famous tequila. Now it can also be found in rural courtyards.

It takes about 60 years for tequila to blossom once, and the inflorescence is about 7 meters long, and it uses up the energy accumulated over the decades because of flowering, so it usually withered and died soon after flowering. Tequila is not easy to blossom, but it is easy to reproduce. Now it is generally propagated by ramet or cuttings in rural areas, which can be described as "live as soon as you put it".

Tequila leaves are thick, broken leaves will have a lot of viscous juice exudation, it should be noted that tequila juice is toxic, if accidentally touched on the skin, there will be a strong burning sensation.

What really makes tequila famous is tequila made from its bulb sap. Tequila is the national wine of Mexico, which has a history of thousands of years in Central America. Tequila is succulent and rich in sugar, which is very suitable for fermenting wine. Later, after European colonists introduced distillation to America, tequila became more alcoholic and mellow, and gradually became popular in the world.

Now we grow more and more tequila in rural areas because of its ornamental value, tequila is placed in the courtyard, the noble atmosphere in the living room can also purify the air.
