Most of the lemon trees in a thousand mu lemon orchard are relatively small.

Some larger lemon trees are also beginning to bear fruit.

In October, a reporter from Fujian and Taiwan went to drive to Baoshan Village in Shangping District of Shajian Town. It is reported that there is a magnificent 1000 mu lemon garden invested by Taiwan businessmen there. The most eye-catching thing that arrives at the lemon planting base is not lemon, but a passion fruit fence. Walking under the passion fruit fence, you can see the egg-shaped fruit hanging on the vine, green, red, purple, mouth-watering, showing us the charm of this autumn beautiful rural harvest season.

However, such luxuriant and fruitful passion fruit is not the protagonist of this planting base, but the product of the hillside making full use of space. Guo Yaonan, a local villager in charge of the planting base, said: "the hillside is well ventilated, and interplanting passion fruits not only will not affect the growth of lemons, but also can kill many birds with one stone. For example, land is not wasted; migrant workers can make full use of their time to increase their income; farms can also reduce investment risks; land is loose and will not harden, and so on. "

It is understood that passion fruit is only limited by temperature, not by time. It can bear fruit immediately at the beginning of spring, and then it can be harvested until it frosts in winter. "normally, there are about 40 plants per mu of land, with an annual output of 3500 to 4000 jin." Guo Yaonan said that the passion fruit rack here adapts measures to local conditions, including flat-top, fence, "human" and "door" shapes, etc., which not only beautifies the entire planting base, but also makes full use of the land among lemon trees without affecting the growth of lemons, which can increase some income in a short time and achieve the goal of long-term development of growing lemons with a short-term harvest.

Compared with the immediate planting effect of passion fruit, the cultivation cycle of lemon is much longer. "this is a lemon planted in May 2014. At that time, it was only about 30 centimeters tall. Now it grows about 2 meters, and one person is more than one person tall." Guo Yaonan pointed to slices of lemons and told reporters.

Guo Yaonan earlier worked in the Jiaomei Taiwan Investment Zone and got to know a lot of Taiwanese friends. Later, when he returned to Baoshan Village, he found that most of the land used to grow sugarcane had been abandoned because of poor economic benefits. so he introduced his Taiwanese business friend Zheng Huaxin to Baoshan Village to find land and put into production. Prior to this, Zheng Huaxin's company was headquartered in Shanghai and had 2000 mu of lemon bases in Yunnan and Sichuan. Because of the cold weather, it could only produce three seasons a year in Sichuan.

Zheng Huaxin went to several villages here. After learning about the altitude and climate, he thought that the climate here was mild, with lemons blooming in four seasons and producing four seasons a year, one more season than in other provinces. So with the help of local villagers, Zheng Huaxin signed a total of 800 mu of land lease in several nearby villages at 500 yuan per mu for a lease term of 15 years and an one-time rent of 5 years. The rent will be increased progressively every 5 years, with an increase of 50 yuan per mu.

It is understood that Zheng Huaxin often goes to the site to guide planting, from turning on the road, laying water pipes, building pools, and installing automatic sprinkler irrigation. He arranged it all carefully. Guo Yaonan said: "he has lived here for a long time, and at first he is more serious than ordinary migrant workers. He has been working from morning till night. It is not until now that he is slowly on the track that he is active in the marketing department. He should come here often in the future."

Taiwan enterprises pay attention to organic cultivation. "the boss is not allowed to spray pesticides and is afraid of pesticide residues." So they adopted artificial weeding. For better management, they take charge of 50 mu by a film director with a monthly salary of 2500 yuan and employ two or three temporary workers at the same time. In the future, the company will give 10% of its profits as bonuses to these managers as administrative salaries.

"with the investment of Taiwan enterprises, the surplus labor force here has been solved." Wu Qinyong, propaganda committee of Shajian Town, said that this lemon garden base has also promoted the circulation and reuse of land; in addition, the good efficiency of lemon and hundred incense has also led other people around to plant it together, and the company will come to buy it every year, which solves the problem of marketing for farmers and improves the economic income of local farmers.

It is understood that the company plans to plant 1000 mu of lemons, with a total investment of more than 20 million yuan. Lemon can produce fruit in four years, and the company will build a juice processing base here by the end of 2016.

Guo Yaonan said that in addition, the company also established Hua'an County Luhuabao fruit and vegetable professional cooperative, Hua'an County Tiandi Bao Chinese herbal medicine professional cooperative. At present, the cooperative is selecting Taiwanese varieties of Chinese herbal medicine for planting after the beginning of spring. (reporter Hong Mei)
