In Shanghai, scan the QR code to understand a tree.
On October 24, at the ceremony of the listing of plants in public spaces on both sides of the Suzhou Creek, the plants were hung with "tailor-made" nameplates. At present, 130 new plant nameplates have been added on both sides of the Suzhou Creek, covering 42 tree species.
In addition to engraving the name of the plant, these stainless steel nameplates also have a two-dimensional code, which can be scanned to see the corresponding plant information, which is convenient for the public to understand the plant and enhance the interest in the plant.

"The compound luan tree takes its name from the typical two-pinnate compound leaf. Flowers bloom in summer, with large conical inflorescences growing at the top of the branches, and the capsules expand in the form of lantern-shaped hanging branches after the flowers are removed. Along the Putuo section of the Suzhou River, Ms. Yang, who brought her daughter to play, tried to scan the two-dimensional code of the compound luan tree, in addition to the basic information such as the name, she could also understand the morphological characteristics of the plant, its growth habits and view the plant appearance in different seasons through more color photos.
"When you see trees you don't recognize, you can learn more by scanning the QR code. Taking children to play along the Su River can also increase plant knowledge, planting a seed of closeness to nature for children, which is really good. Ms. Yang said.
Scan the QR code to get plant information, which comes from Shanghai Chenshan Botanical Garden.
Shanghai Municipal Bureau of Greening and Appearance said that plant nameplates are important greening science popularization facilities, and a large number of new and excellent plants have been planted on both sides of the Suzhou Creek, which can allow citizens and tourists to understand plants and understand nature while resting. At present, 130 new plant nameplates have been added to the public space on both sides of the Suzhou Creek, covering 42 tree species. In the future, the "Life Show Belt" of Suzhou Creek will be built into a "plant science belt", further enhancing the cultural connotation and scientific taste of public space.
