Reading guide: The neighbor's "camellia" has been left unattended for 20 years, and it has grown into a big tree, which is really sensible
Many netizens said that camellia flowers are difficult to raise, and they will fall off their leaves and flowers within a few days when they buy them, and they will die in a month. But what everyone doesn't know is that camellia has a super long lifespan and can live for decades unattended.No, a netizen in Guangxi shared on the flower raising platform that his neighbor's yard was unattended and bloomed camellias.
She said: The neighbor has moved away for 20 years, and the camellia in the yard is unattended, and it has grown into a big tree.
Let's look at this camellia, it does grow luxuriantly, although the flowering is not very luxuriant, but the green leaves, red flowers are dotted, and the vigorous vitality makes people feel awe.
Some people say that plants also have souls, and every flower and tree has emotions, and they will become essence after living for a long time. Looking at this camellia that is unattended but lives so chicly, I am a little convinced.
Sharp-eyed netizens said that this is a tea plum, which is relatively easy to raise, and it is especially easy to grow into a tree, and there are relatively tall trees in the countryside in Guangxi, Yunnan, Zhejiang, and Fujian.
A flower friend in Zhejiang has grown tea plum in his yard for 15 years, the plant does not look very big, but the amount of flowering is very large, planted in Zhejiang, pay attention to watering and fertilization, and there are quite a lot of flowers.
Yunnan flower friends have been drying tea plum for 20 years, the plant looks super tall, the branches and leaves are luxuriant, the flowering amount is also very large, and it is pink, I have to marvel at the tea plum can really grow.
Shanghai flower friends said that there is a bigger one in the Shanghai Botanical Garden, with vigorous branches, domineering posture, touching flowers, and miserable beauty.
According to professionals: Camellia and Camellia sinensis are both Camellia plants in the family Camelliaceae. Camellia is an arbor, relatively tall, and Camellia is a shrub. After the camellia is gone, the whole flower falls, while the tea plum falls one by one.
Whether it is camellia or tea plum, it is more valuable to grow so tall, and there are almost more than 10,000 tea plums that are more than one meter tall for more than ten years.
I privately think that since they are all camellias, they are all camellias, and the varieties are different, and the tea plum is not as expensive as some expensive varieties of camellias, but it is enough to feed.
