When many cities in mainland China choose seedlings to plant, they will always ignore some excellent tree species that grow indigenously, and choose the so-called "imported trees" such as French plane trees, so many precious "domestic trees" are not known. However, with the progress of the times, people are more and more favored by those tree species that coexist in appearance and strength. Just like the "catalpa tree" that used to bloom "full of temples", now the timber side sells "nearly 10,000 yuan", and this catalpa tree has begun to become an important tree species for urban greening!
Perhaps many people do not know what kind of tree the catalpa tree is, but they know that the Prince Fusu of the Qin Kingdom knows that in a temple dedicated to the Prince Fusu in Yuanping City, Shanxi, there are 4 thousand-year-old catalpa trees, guarding this temple for thousands of years, one of which is more than 2,000 years old, but it can still blossom all over the tree, just like the eternal Gongzi Fusu.
Catalpa tree is very beautiful, is a kind of deciduous catalpa wood, its flower branches are very dense, whenever the flowers bloom, beautiful flowers can cover the tree, looking incomparably spectacular, and the flower color of the catalpa tree is lilac, so whenever the flower blooms, there is also a beautiful meaning of "purple gas coming east", so like some palace courtyards, famous garden ancient temples, like planting catalpa trees. This is a tree species that contains auspiciousness, hope, and is incomparably precious.
In the past, people were not interested in native tree species, but now after realizing the preciousness of local tree species, they find that they may not be able to afford this tree... Because catalpa trees have a good air purification, silence, resistance to poisonous gases, but also very hardy and drought-resistant, so the price of catalpa saplings is really high, the general price of 7 cm stem is at least 90 yuan or more, if the stem is 35 cm, the price is at least 6500 a tree.
That is, the price of seedlings is so expensive, not to mention the price of wood that can make other items, in most parts of the north this year, the price of wood for catalpa trees has generally reached 9,000 yuan, and it is still in a state of short supply, if there is no advance reservation, it is really impossible to buy. A musical instrument made of catalpa wood is really expensive, so now there are many people who make a fortune by planting catalpa wood!
The role of catalpa wood is very extensive, not only as an excellent green tree, but also as a precious processing wood, the whole catalpa tree can be used in medicine! Because the roots, stems, leaves, and seeds of catalpa trees can be medicated, even the flowers can be eaten! Therefore, planting a catalpa tree in the courtyard is really a well-deserved family tree, and future generations of descendants will be blessed!
Most importantly, the growth requirements of catalpa trees are really not high, even in harsh environments, such as calcareous soil, fly ash soil, slightly acidic soil, etc., can grow well. Because catalpa trees have a developed root system, they are often used as ecological trees that are windproof and sand fixing, so it is really a very easy thing for everyone to raise this tree in the courtyard of their home!
