I am "Aoyama because of the snow white head", thank you very much for your attention and comments, I have been engaged in garden design for 20 years, specializing in rural areas and the garden industry. The article is not well written, please criticize and correct more!
Guide
Many friends who like to plant flowers and trees must have bought fake seeds and fake saplings. As a garden designer, I love plants very much, and I have also bought fake seeds, fake saplings.
Today, take an inventory of several saplings that are easy to fake on the market: Japanese cedarin, Japanese four-shotao, English hawthorn, and European thrush.
If you buy one or two plants to plant for fun, the loss is not large, if the seedling farmer buys it back and plants it in a large area, the loss is very large, so the seedling farmer should be wary of fake seedlings.
Japan Shiteruka
Japanese Shishoka (D. Japonica) is a small deciduous tree in the dogwood family, the genus Shizhaohua, native to Japan. There are many varieties of Japanese Shisho flowers, among which the Japanese Shisho garden art "Satomi" is a red flower, the flower is beautiful, very beautiful, very popular with flower lovers.
There are 9 kinds of Sizhao flowers on the mainland: Sizhao flowers, pointed leaf Sizhao flowers, head-shaped Sizhao flowers, beautiful Sizhao flowers, brown hair Sizhao flowers, large Sizhao flowers, Hong Kong Sizhao flowers, black hair Sizhao flowers, and multi-veined Sizhao flowers. All 9 species of Sizhao flowers bloom white.

Fake and real: There are some bad merchants who use mainland local Sizhao flowers to impersonate the Japanese Sizhao flower "Satomi", and the Sizhao flower takes several years to bloom, and when it blooms, it will know the real thing, but at that time it is too late to find the seller!
Judge true or false: Japanese four-shot flowers see that the tip of the leaf is slightly oval, the mainland native four-shot flower is sharply pointed, the edge is full or has obvious fine teeth, and the Japanese four-shot flower has no obvious fine teeth on the leaf margin.
Avoid stepping on pits: It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between the two, especially after falling leaves, it is difficult for professionals to distinguish. I personally believe that only Japanese Shiterao flowers from specialized flower companies can be trusted, such as Hongetsu Flowers.

Japanese snow bell tree
The Japanese cedarin tree is a deciduous tree of the benzoin family, benzoin, native to Japan and the Korean Peninsula. Japanese snow bell trees have fragrant flowers, beautiful tree posture, few pests and diseases, drought tolerant, and relatively hardy.
Japanese cedarin tree is an excellent landscape tree, in the 70s of the last century, the Royal Horticultural Society awarded it the Outstanding Outstanding Award, deeply loved by Europeans and Americans, widely cultivated in Europe and North America. The mainland has not been introduced to Japanese cedarin trees for a long time, and few large trees are currently used in greening projects.

Benzoin is a large genus, with 31 species of benzoin plants on the continent. Common ones are white flower dragon, weeping pearl flower, calyx wild jasmine, old eagle bell, Saisan plum, jade ling flower and so on.
In the area of Rongcheng in Weihai, Shandong, around 2010, there were nurseries planting wild jasmine, but it has not been successful, and the green trees cannot be sold. Later, they took a better name: Yulinghua. But it didn't make much difference.
Fake and real: Around 2019, a few nurseries in Rongcheng changed the name of Hairy Calyx Wild Jasmine to Japanese snow bell trees, so that it was difficult for seedling farmers to distinguish between real and fake snow bell trees.
Judge whether it is true or false: the wild jasmine flowers are not fragrant; The Japanese snow bell tree has fragrant flowers, which is the biggest difference, but it can only be distinguished when it blooms.

There are also hawthorns on the mainland, a total of 17 species of hawthorn, all with white flowers, mainly distributed in the Huai River Basin and the northern region.
Fake real: It is difficult for ordinary people to distinguish the difference between the native white flower hawthorn and the English hawthorn. At present, the price of hawthorn trees in England is very high (a tree with a diameter of 10cm, the price is 1-12,000 yuan / tree);
As a result, some unscrupulous merchants have a keen sense of smell and sell native hawthorn as English hawthorn, and only when they bloom do they know that they have bought a fake.

European thrush

The European thrush tree is tall and majestic, and the autumn color is golden, which is very beautiful. The European thrush is an excellent landscape tree, especially used in lawns, parks, schools, squares, and communities.
Widely cultivated in Europe, it is very resistant to pruning, often pruned into various shapes, and is a very common modeling tree in Europe. The introduction time of European thrush in the mainland is short, and the price of large trees is expensive, and the price of a tree with a diameter of 10cm is about 8000-10000 yuan.

There are also goose ear horns on the mainland, there are a total of 25 original species, 15 variants, the most famous is the Putuo hornbeam. However, there is currently no nursery for the goose ear used for greening.
Fake and real: Because the shape of the European thrush tree is very beautiful, the price of the big tree is very high, so there are unscrupulous merchants who smell the business opportunity and cultivate the domestic native thrush seedlings, and sell them as European thrush trees.

How to avoid stepping on mines
People have the characteristics of greed, many liars are to make full use of this weakness of human nature, they weave all kinds of words, many people are deceived, often caused by greed for cheapness.
Buy seedlings and flowers, do not be greedy for small bargains, if you plant a few trees yourself to play and enjoy, the loss of buying fake goods is not large. But if it is a seedling farmer planting on a large scale, you must be careful not to be greedy for cheapness, after all, what you buy is not sold.
Try to buy in formal channels, professional companies, the price is higher, buy with confidence! It will not be hard for several years, and in the end it can only be chopped as firewood, and if you lose your wife and break the army, the lost time cannot be made up.
