Peninsula Quan** Chief Reporter Li Xiaozhe.
Orange red in winter, this beautiful scenery should only belong to the warm south, but now it has become a bright color for the rural revitalization of Zhangjialou Street, West Coast New Area, Qingdao. On December 9, the reporter came to the Yuhe Farm located in the street to visit the rare orange harvest scene in the north. It is understood that the use of the characteristics of mountain planting to introduce and breed tangerine, ugly orange and other varieties, successfully overcome the problem of large-scale planting in the north, the orange in the south of the cash crop in our house successfully planted. Not only are the oranges here delicious, but there are also many people who are optimistic about the booming scene when the oranges are ripe, and buy the whole tree and pull it back as a bonsai to enjoy.
On the weekend, this farm was on fire, and they all came to the "rare thing" of oranges On the afternoon of December 9, the tourists of Yuhe Farm were still continuous. Jiang Feng, the person in charge of the farm, has his mobile phone ringing from time to time, and almost all of them make appointments to come to pick oranges. "Recently, we are the busiest time on weekends, and the oranges on the farm are harvested, and there are very few of them planted in a large area in our north, and many people want to come and see them freshly. After she finished picking up the **, she was asking the tourists who had arrived to go to the greenhouse to pick.
Indeed, as soon as many tourists walk into the orange greenhouse, they often can't help but sigh again and again, and the sound of "wow" is constant. "Oranges grow in the south in the impression, 'oranges are oranges in Huainan', everyone knows, but I didn't expect that there is such a large orange field in Zhangjialou, Jiaonan. Ms. Xia, a tourist, said as she picked oranges with scissors, and after a while, a small basket was full.
Ms. Xia said that almost always the family spends weekends taking their children around. After a long time, almost all the places around me that can play have been turned around, and I don't know where to play. Recently, I heard that the oranges in the farm were ripe, and I immediately decided with my family to come and see this "rare thing". They went to the farm in the morning to play, and after eating at noon, they felt that they had not had enough, so they came to the farm again to play.
There are not a few tourists like Ms. Xia. Jiang Feng said that they can now receive dozens to hundreds of tourists every weekend. There are not only oranges, but also ecological agricultural products such as local chickens and eggs on the farm, and a play area is also set up, which makes many people feel that the trip is worthwhile.
Of course, the main attraction is the oranges. "Our seedless mandarins are truly ripe and juicy, presenting the true and ecological taste of tangerine. Jiang Feng said that their oranges have many varieties such as tangerines and ugly oranges, among which tangerines are one of the main products, with a sweet taste and a sour taste, which is very popular with customers who come to pick.
Overcome the disadvantages of mountains and mountains, and solve the problem of rural revitalization with a different way of thinking Out of the orange greenhouse, you can see the orange greenhouse of the entire Yuhe Farm. The farm's orange greenhouses cover an area of more than 20 acres, with a total of 7 of them, arranged in turn on a small hillside.
At that time, the choice of planting oranges was also after a long period of investigation and exploration. The farm has also successfully planted tropical fruits such as dragon fruit before, and finally chose to introduce and cultivate oranges in order to differentiate the competition and cultivate new possibilities for the revitalization of the local countryside.
After the experts invited by the farm to visit the local area, they believe that the location of the farm is mainly mountainous, which is not suitable for greenhouse crops that require a lot of water and fertilizer, but is more suitable for the growth of woody plants. Therefore, as long as other conditions are overcome, oranges are more suitable cash crops. If the introduction is successful, it will add more value to the land that was previously difficult for even the farmer to grow.
But it is not easy to invite oranges to the north to "settle down". In order to make the oranges better adapt to the northern environment, the farm breaks the natural rules of the south orange and the north orange, mainly from the climate aspect, using modern greenhouse technology, the temperature is controlled at an average of 16 22 degrees Celsius per year, and the annual sunshine hours reach 1200 2200 hours to ensure sufficient light.
Tangerines are suitable for acidic soils with a pH of 55～6.5 is the best, the root growth of tangerine requires a higher oxygen content, and the organic matter content should reach 2% 3%. In order to achieve this condition, the farm uses microbial organic fertilizer with amino acids to improve the soil.
In addition, tangerines are also "sensitive" to air humidity, preferably around 75%;The soil moisture content is 60% to 80%. The farm uses a drip irrigation system to allow water to penetrate slowly and evenly into the soil, maintaining the water content in the soil.
Under careful care, the oranges on the farm grow happily, and the fruits are delicious and juicy.
The introduction and cultivation have been successful for many years, and this is already the second year of harvest At present, the orange seedlings in the farm are mainly six or seven years old. Moreover, according to reports, this is the second year of a bumper harvest of oranges on the farm. Last year, the farm had its first bumper harvest of oranges, but due to the epidemic and other reasons, there was no widespread publicity on the Internet, and only a small number of surrounding residents came to pick them. And this year, with the wide spread, the farm has also ushered in a steady stream of customers.
On the day of the reporter's visit, some tourists tasted the delicious oranges on the farm, and ordered 1,600 catties of oranges to be brought back to relatives and friends.
According to the staff, don't look at some orange trees are not tall, but a tree can bear more than 100 catties of fruit at most. No wonder the reporter saw that the branches of many orange trees were pulled by ropes, but they were afraid that the clusters of oranges would bend the branches and fall to the ground.
As more and more people are attracted to it, there are more "ways to open" the tangerines of the farm. When some tourists come to pick oranges, they taste the delicious oranges on a certain tree, so they buy the whole tree, dig it up and plant it at home, and eat it slowly. The farm also caters to this market demand and launches orange ornamental bonsai**, which has also received a good social response. Some customers were optimistic about the fruitful and gratifying scene of the orange harvest, and bought more than 100 pots in one go.
As the only orange in the West Coast New Area, the oranges of Yuhe Farm will also usher in a larger market with the continuous advancement of rural revitalization.
