It is difficult to tell the true from the false of lobular red sandalwood bonsai from three aspects to teach you to distinguish easily.

Lobular red sandalwood bonsai is now the new favorite in the flower-and-bird market. It has captured many people who love flowers and trees with its elegant and simple appearance. However, due to the slow growth rate of red sandalwood, it takes a long time to grow a bonsai, so the price of red sandalwood bonsai remains high. For bonsai lovers, the high price also reflects the value of bonsai, or enjoy it. But the most gripping thing is: spent a lot of money, but bought a fake lobular rosewood!

An experienced person once revealed that 99% of the lobular red sandalwood bonsai sold on the market is a plant of the persimmon family, called black bone tea! This kind of plant and lobular red sandalwood are actually two things that have nothing to do with each other! Are you a little surprised and sigh that the water in this is too deep?

How to tell the true and false of lobular red sandalwood bonsai? In fact, it is not difficult to distinguish between the characters of the two plants. We decompose it from three aspects, so that you can easily distinguish between "true and false Li Kui".

First, plant nature.

1. Black bone tea, also known as Xiaoguo persimmon and Fenggang persimmon, is very common in Taiwan and southern China. It's a shrub with very small leaves. The so-called shrubs are those that are not tall or big, let alone become wood and make furniture.

2. Lobular red sandalwood is a kind of tall tree. The wood is thick and solid and has strong stability, so it is an excellent wood for furniture. However, since it takes 800 years to grow into wood, the furniture made of this wood is very expensive.

Second, shape

1. Leaves

The leaves of black bone tea are very small, shaped like a chicken heart, growing relatively, and arranged in strings on both sides of the branches. As far as the shape of bonsai is concerned, this kind of black bone tea leaves will look more elegant and beautiful.

Lobular red sandalwood is a tree, the leaves are very large, almost round, but also opposite, but there are only about three to five leaves on a branch, it is not very gentle to make bonsai. If you have seen a real lobular rosewood, you can easily distinguish between the two plants. It's just that lobular red sandalwood is not often seen in daily life, so let businesses have time to drill and "bully" people they don't know.

2. Branches and stems

The branches of black bone tea are rough, the bark is black, and most of them have some vertical stripes. The thinner branches are white-green, and the branches that grow to the size of 1CM will turn black.

The trunk of lobular red sandalwood is straight, dark brown bark, relatively smooth. When you grow up, the bark will crack and form some grid-like patterns. The new folded or cross-section of the branch is bright red or orange, and the old cut will turn purple-black or purple. There is a purple-black grain in the wood grain.

Weight and sap

Woodiness is the characteristic of lobular red sandalwood, so put the same-sized branches of lobular red sandalwood and black bone tea in water, the leaflet red sandalwood will sink much faster.

The sap of lobular red sandalwood is red, which is broken off to scratch the white wall, leaving purplish red scratches, while black bone tea does not.

The color of the old red sandalwood is so strong that it will not fall out if it is put in the water. But the new and tender red sandalwood will be soaked in water, and in ancient times, the water soaked out of the red sandalwood can be used as a red dye. Can also plane a little rosewood flowers soaked in liquor, will be immediately decomposed into viscose pink substances. Generally speaking, red sandalwood that makes bonsai will not always go anywhere, so this is also a very effective way to identify.

The bonsai made of lobular red sandalwood is not that there is no bonsai, but that the number is very small. Because the growth rate is too slow, the tree stem is too straight and the root system is too deep, it is not easy to cultivate a beautiful bonsai, it is impossible to have so many lobular red sandalwood bonsai on the market.

And from the perspective of bonsai appreciation, the appreciation value of black bone tea bonsai is also higher than that of lobular red sandalwood. Because:

1. Black bone tea has slow growth rate, shade resistance and strong resistance to diseases and insect pests, so it is suitable to be put indoors.

2. Black bone tea is evergreen all the year round, it is easy to shape, the branch shape rises from the forest shape, and can be made into some root-like shapes, which has high ornamental value.

It's just that in order to seek greater benefits, businessmen let it sell at a high price in the name of lobular rosewood. In fact, black bone tea is also very aggrieved.
