Summer is coming, I remember when I was a child, after the weather was hot, everyone had a big pu fan, which could not only cool but also repel mosquitoes.
With the passage of time, the development of the economy, all kinds of new things emerge in an endless stream, and the big pu fan is gradually replaced, and it is difficult to see them now. Even the palm trees that make the big cattails are hard to find.
The palm trees in the mainland have a long history of planting, and most of the palm trees in ancient books are written as palmetto, alder tree or alder, and now they are also known as palms and palmetto (because the hair in the skin is like a horse's mane, so the name. ), an evergreen tree in the family Palmaceae. In the mainland, it is mainly distributed in the Qinling Mountains and the south of the Yangtze River Basin. It is widely cultivated in various parts of the Yangtze River, mainly stripping leaf sheath fibers for weaving brown ropes, coats, palm mats, carpets, palm brushes, etc.
And these are just the tip of the iceberg of palms, there are many types of palm trees, roughly divided into line palm, mountain palm, Dong palm, dragon palm, dwarf qiong palm, qiong palm, three medicine betel, nut, king palm, giant palm palm, Chilean wine palm, blue palm, palm and so on. In addition to being practical. Palms have always been the best solution to tropical flair, and their striking structure and rich diversity make them all-rounders in the landscape.
Among the many flavorful palms, in addition to the traditional pinnate leaves (such as king coconut) and fan-shaped leaves (such as palmetto), there is also a strange type of palm, their leaves are large and complete, showing a narrow and long diamond shape, that is, the water chestnut palm genus.
Here I have to talk about the water chestnut palm. It grows in the montane rainforests of southern Thailand, Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra and Borneo, and has been introduced and cultivated in southern and southeastern China. It is one of the most stunning and spectacular palm trees in the world! It has leaves that are more than 3 meters long and up to 2 meters wide, grow directly from underground rhizomes, and have large leathery leaves that are roughly diamond-shaped and folded along its length and do not split. From a distance, the whole plant looks like a green fountain, which is magnificent. It can be called the ceiling of beauty in the palm tree! The best in botanical geometric aesthetics!
