You would never have imagined that a fruit tree with a fruit could not die after being submerged by a thick volcano! It also absorbs the rich minerals in these volcanic ash, which in turn causes its fruit to be sweeter than ever, especially strong.
So, what kind of fruit tree is this? Why does it have such a strong vitality?
Speaking of Indonesia, I believe that in everyone's mind, they will think of the volcanic eruption of Tonga some time ago. As we all know, the threat posed by volcanoes is very large, first of all, the hot magma it spews out, and then a large number of toxic gases.
Moreover, at the same time as the eruption of the volcano, there will be a large amount of rubble, so humans must not stay here. But unexpectedly, human beings did not dare to face the threat posed by volcanoes, but one plant did it, it is a snakeskin fruit tree.
In 2010, a huge eruption occurred at Mount Merapi in Indonesia, a disaster that killed more than 300 people.
At that time, the local government also asked nearby residents not to be within 5 kilometers of the fire. The outbreak was particularly severe, with many people displaced and a significant impact on the local agricultural industry.
The magma from the volcano may not flow far, but the ash it brings out can drift far away. Nearby residents' homes and orchards were affected by volcanic ash, and almost all living creatures died here.
Later, Mount Merapi returned to its former calm, and the local residents did not choose to turn their backs on their homes or continue to live. And those growers who grow snakeskin fruit, after seeing their own orchards flooded by volcanic ash, are also full of ashes and have no mood to take care of it.
However, just two years after the incident, a miracle occurred! The snakeskin fruit trees that were once covered in volcanic ash actually bore fruit. And the residents, after tasting it, found that the taste was even sweeter than before.
It turns out that the volcanic ash not only contains fine small sand particles, but also contains a large number of mineral particles, these volcanic ash will cover the snakeskin fruit trees, but also provide them with a fairly good natural fertilizer, although on the surface of the snakeskin fruit trees are destroyed to pieces, but they are actually secretly sucking the minerals in the volcanic ash, brewing a "big move"!
I really didn't expect that the snakeskin fruit had survived under such circumstances and was blessed by misfortune, which was simply too good luck!
However, although we have the impression that volcanoes always bring disasters, people use volcanic ash to fertilize fruit trees for a long time.
For example, in Changle County, Weifang, Shandong Province, because it has unique volcanic resources, relying on the advantages of volcanic ash soil rich in minerals and organic matter, it is a wind and water boom in agriculture.
A large number of millets are grown locally, and the millet produced on volcanic ash soil tastes particularly good, so sales are also bullish. In addition, after the locals also saw the advantages of volcanic ash soil, they even began to try to plant volcanic black dates and volcanic black pears.
In Wuxi Yangshan, Jiangsu Province, peaches growing on volcanic ash are also planted. Since the orchards here are located in the core area of volcanic ash, these fruit trees can be said to be nourished by volcanic fertilizer at any time.
And the final peach produced, naturally has become the best of the best. In CCTV and local TV stations, this peach has been reported many times, and it can be called "the white rich beauty in the peach world".
However, in addition to being a fertilizer, the role of volcanic ash, in fact, there are many more!
Industrially, volcanic ash is an excellent building material. When building underground or underwater works, in order to make the building more waterproof, some volcanic ash is added to the cement.
In the mainland Yunnan, there have been successful cases of using volcanic ash to develop a mineral admixture for hydropower projects, and finally the relevant researchers have successfully applied this admixture to the construction of hydropower stations, and the actual effect is still very good.
In our daily lives, we can often see the shadow of volcanic ash. For example, many female friends should hear about the "volcanic ash mask", which has volcanic ash in it! In some toothpastes, soaps and cosmetics, there are many products that also have volcanic ash present.
From this point of view, everything is not absolute, just like the bad volcanic ash in our impression, through people's rational use, they can also play a very good role.
This is also enough to show that the progress of our human beings is very fast, and many aspects are from a scientific point of view, I believe that in the future, the development of our human beings in various fields, there will certainly be no small breakthrough.
