Friends in the south have begun to eat toon that
Xiao Xi really couldn't help but look at the price, huh... This year I have to plant a few of my own.
Toon, a pound of hundreds of pieces!
Toon buds are currently one of the limited edition delicacies. It is said that Chinese have been eating toon buds since the Han Dynasty. In the past, food was scarce, especially in the spring, and there were few toon trees planted in front of the house, and you could eat a few meals.

Toon sprouts rinsed with water, can be blanched in cold water, scrambled eggs, omelettes, can also be fried with egg liquid powder, can also be pickled and eaten... Its unique aroma can only be tasted in spring.

These days I heard that the toon in Shanghai is 90 pounds. Some say it's expensive, and some say it's cheap. Prices vary from city to city. Spend flowers to the market to see... At this price, enough to convince them to quit!

Because it is rare and the most expensive, the spring toon buds are really comparable to the taste of the mountains and the sea. Netizens also made a conversion table for toon, 1 pound of toon can buy a plate of pippi shrimp and 2 hairy crabs!

To be honest, after reading this price, I am not greedy for toon, just "mood", plant a few trees this year, and drive neighbors to achieve toon freedom next spring
How to grow Chinese toon
Toon is a deciduous tree that can be planted in the north and south, produced in Liangguang, Yunnan and other places in the south, and distributed in Inner Mongolia, Liaoning and other places in the north. It can be said that it is very adaptable.

1. Hermaphrodites
Toon trees are male and female, the female tree will flower, and the calyx will grow like this after the flower has withered.

Whether it is a male or female tree, their toon buds can be eaten without affecting the taste.

2. Toon varieties
There are many types of toon, which can be divided into two types: green toon and purple toon. Subdivided varieties are: qing you chun, yellow snail sand (youth); Red has spring, black has spring, Ximu purple spring, Jiaozuo red spring (purple spring).

Regarding green toon and purple toon, Huahua personally believes that purple oil toon has the most fragrant and richest taste, especially the oily young buds, which are particularly appetizing!

Third, the planting environment
Toons are not chosen, but should be planted in a sunny environment with loose soil. Toon is planted in the north, and seedlings under 3 years old should be kept warm in winter (the roots are covered with soil, and the stems are wrapped in a cold cloth). Take precautions to keep warm.

4. Can I potted plants?
Toon can be potted, especially the current seedling technology is relatively high, potted plants are planted with loose garden soil, do not use too loose flower soil, can not fix such a large main pole. It is best to keep it indoors, which will produce odors and affect normal life.

5. Fertilize
Toon is best fertilized in winter. In the coldest months of January and February, bury some winter fertilizers, such as sheep manure, chicken manure, and cow dung. Fertilizer for the last winter of family farming is sufficient.

6. Trim
Toon can grow tall, in order to make the toon bud more, easier to pick, do not let it grow too tall. After harvesting toon buds in the spring (can be harvested 2-3 times), the long branches are pruned and truncated. Let it grow as many side branches as possible and keep it 1-2 meters tall.
7. Reproduction
Toon trees generally have more cuttings, faster speed, spring and summer can be cut, when the temperature is 15-25 degrees, cuttings or high-pressure ring peeling cuttings can be used. Sowing is also possible, but it must be the seed of the male and female trees, otherwise it is difficult to guarantee success.

8. The difference between toon and ailanthus
There are toon and ailanthus. The two are easy to distinguish. The most obvious difference is the leaves. The leaves are uniform and the top is also a pair of leaves. The leaves of Ailanthus are mostly odd, with a pointed leaf at the tip. You have to distinguish between them.
