I really like the beauty and romance of cherry blossoms, and I used to see them in late March, but this encounter in winter feels very refreshing. Ms. Li, a tourist, started a live broadcast with her friends on the spot to share the spring scenery in advance. It is understood that the "cherry blossoms" mentioned by Ms. Li are the early cherry blossom varieties carefully cultivated by the cherry blossom science and technology personnel in Yuyuantan Park through technical measures such as temperature control inside and outside the greenhouse and container seedling raising, which were officially unveiled in the park science square on February 2.
A few days ago, the 9 cherry blossom trees at the Kozakura Station in the Science Square near the west gate of Yuyuantan Park were unveiled, and they ushered in the enthusiastic onlookers of tourists. The early cherry blossoms are planted in wooden pots, and the branches pull out tender green shoots, and the rose-red, pale pink, and white petals are delicate and soft, giving people a feeling of warmth like spring, and the delicate blessing cards are hung on the branches, so that the whole post station is filled with a festive and warm atmosphere.
Aunt Wang, a tourist, used to work in agriculture, and this time she came to Yuyuantan Park to make her eyes shine. "As soon as I entered the small courtyard, I felt very warm in terms of smell and color. This is the first time I have seen cherry blossoms in winter, and they are very lush.
Especially now that the Chinese New Year is approaching, it has given me an impressive Spring Festival and a different winter. Aunt Wang said.
According to reports, in order to let citizens and tourists feel the "spring blossoms" in advance, the park's scientific and technological personnel carefully cultivated early cherry blossoms through technical measures such as greenhouse temperature control and container seedlings. As early as the Spring Festival in 2021 and 2022, the cherry blossoms have been seen outdoors with tourists. During the Spring Festival of 2023, two cherry blossoms were unveiled in the Yuyuantan Sakura Store, and the warm environment extended the flowering period from one week to more than ten days. Zhao Shuang, senior engineer of the Yuyuantan Park horticultural team, told reporters, "We let the cherry blossoms go through a low temperature process first, and then move it to a warm greenhouse, by adjusting the temperature, humidity, light and other environmental factors, simulate the conditions suitable for the growth of cherry blossoms, and promote the better formation of flower buds under the careful maintenance of water and fertilizer regulation and pruning technology, so as to present today's beautiful scenery." ”
Nowadays, some cherry blossom trees are full of branches, some of the flower bones are budding, and the next cherry blossom tree can bloom for more than 20 days. The reporter learned that the cherry blossom exhibition will last until February 24, the New Year's Festival, early cherry blossoms with phalaenopsis, cyclamen and other New Year's flowers are collectively exhibited.
