Chapter 295 Golden Weeping Willow
"These three-year-old peach trees cost four hundred yuan each, and five-year-old peach trees cost eight hundred yuan each."
Boss Lin thought for a while and said, Boss Li knew that this was definitely a big financial backer, so he didn't dare to offer a too high price to avoid the financial backer from running away.
"Just like the three-year-old peach tree. Boss Li, you have to lower the price for me again." Yun Tao said. Yun Tao knew that there was room for bargaining at this price.
"This..., Boss Yun, why don't you look at other trees? Then I'll give you a discounted price."
Boss Li said with some embarrassment, after all, there are only one hundred extra-large peach seedlings, only about 40,000 yuan, which is not a big order, and there will be no discount at this price.
"Okay, Boss Li, I want to buy thirty willow trees. Do you have any good willow trees to introduce?" Yun Tao asked.
Willow branches are flexible, with narrow leaves, yellow-green flowers bloom in spring, and white hairs on the seeds. After ripening, willows can reproduce asexually, mainly with the growth of bearded willow roots.
"Without intention, willows are made into shade", willow trees have unparalleled adaptability and are easy to plant. Willow trees are not as tall as pine trees, and they are not as upright as poplar trees.
The main trunk of willow trees usually grows branches two or three meters away, and the smooth and soft branches are like silk ribbons, hanging down. Willow leaves are single leaves alternate, with narrow leaves but wide and suitable for each other, shaped like a girl's slender eyebrows, just like "a lotus like a face, willow like an eyebrow".
"I wonder what kind of willow tree Boss Yun wants?" Boss Li asked.
"Is there a lot of species of this willow tree? Are there any differences?"
Yun Tao asked, Yun Tao is a rookie in this regard, and only knows the skin of the willow tree. If there is any difference, he just knows nothing.
"This willow tree is divided into weeping willow and dry willow. Weeping willow is also called willow, which is a deciduous tree. The dry willow is also called qi willow, which is also a river willow, which is a deciduous shrub."
Boss Li said. Boss Li is very understanding of Yun Tao’s type of willow tree. He is not specialized in planting trees, so how could he understand it so specifically?
"Is there any difference?" Yun Tao asked.
"This dry willow is generally taller, with dark gray-black bark. It is longitudinally cracked, branches are upright or obliquely spread, brownish-yellow-green, and then brown, hairless, and hairy at the young branches; the buds are brown and slightly hairy. The leaves are lanceolate, with a long apex point, narrow round or wedge-shaped base, green on the top, pale on the bottom, and silky pubertal when young. The leaves have fine serrated edges and short petioles. I don't have many here, just about twenty plants."
"The weeping willow canopy is widely obovate, the bark is gray-black, and irregularly cracked. The branches are slender and drooping, brown, light brown or light yellow-brown. The leaves are narrow lanceolate or strip-lanceolate, with long apex apex, wedge-shaped at the base, and fine serrated edges"
Boss Li explained to Yun Tao. There have been many people buying willow trees over the years, and Boss Li has also planted many willow trees, so he also has a very good understanding of this knowledge.
"Boss Li, I want to plant willow trees next to the reservoir. Which kind of willow tree do you think I'm good at planting."
Yun Tao asked. Anyway, he doesn’t know the characteristics of willow trees, so he should ask a professional like Boss Li.
"If it is planted by the water, I suggest you plant golden weeping willows." Boss Li suggested.
"Golden weeping willow?"
Yun Tao asked, what is a golden weeping willow, Yun Tao has never heard of it.
"Golden weeping willows are excellent garden ornamental tree species. They should be cultivated on the shore and by the water. The tree has beautiful posture, strong disease resistance, easy reproduction, fast growth, natural drooping branches, beautiful shapes, and golden branches all over the tree in winter are like yellow silk ribbons, bright and dazzling. The yellow branches and green buds in spring are complementary and beautiful. In summer and autumn, the sun is covered with thick shade, and the eyes are full of verdant, which is intoxicating."
"And it has three very good advantages: one is that it does not fly catkins in spring and summer, and the other is that the annual growth is twice that of ordinary willow trees. The secondary tips can be drawn 3 to 4 times a year. The third is that the branches and trunks are smooth, golden and have high ornamental value. They are a particularly popular garden ornamental tree species I have bought in recent years."
Boss Li strongly recommended that in terms of ornamental characteristics, this golden silk weeping willow is definitely the well-deserved king among the willow trees.
"What about this price?" Yun Tao was very moved by the golden silk weeping willow, so he asked about the price.
"The golden willow tree that is over five years old is more expensive, and each tree costs between 8,000 and tens of thousands of yuan. This depends on the shape of the tree." Boss Li said.
"What if I want a golden willow seedling like this one below one year?"
Yun Tao asked, and Yun Tao felt that he had "Advanced Planting Technique", so it would be better to buy small saplings to plant them yourself. Not to mention the cheaper price, the last tree planted must be stronger than the ones planted by Boss Li. Yun Tao was very confident in this regard.
"Willow seedlings are much cheaper, just eighty per plant."
Boss Li Shu said that these saplings are really not valuable. They have just been planted on the ground for not long, and they have not spent much money. What’s more important is that the saplings are sold and other saplings can be vacant.
"Then give me a hundred plants."
When Yun Tao heard that it was only 80 yuan per plant, it didn’t cost a lot of money, so he asked for 100 plants at once. Yun Tao was preparing to plant this willow tree on both sides of the reservoir.
"Okay, I didn't ask. Mr. Yun doesn't know if you need other saplings?" Boss Li said happily. After all, he had already had 40,000 or 50,000 yuan in his pocket in just a while.
"How do you buy the osmanthus tree here?" Yun Tao asked, looking at the osmanthus tree in front of him.
The osmanthus tree has elegant shapes, green branches and leaves, evergreen all year round, and pleasant fragrance. The osmanthus is an evergreen broad-leaved tree, with a height of up to 15 meters and a canopy that can cover 400 square meters. The osmanthus seedlings have obvious main roots, with a well-developed and long root system, smooth leaves, leathery, dark and green on the periaxial surface, and lighter distal color.
Yun Tao remembers the myth that there is a story about "Wu Gang's crushing the osmanthus". Legend has it that there is a osmanthus tree in the moon palace, which is five hundred feet high. Wu Gang, a native of Hexi in the Han Dynasty, was punished to cut the osmanthus in the middle of the moon because he did not follow the rules of the Tao when he was studying immortals. However, this tree could not be cut down as soon as it was cut.
Millions of years have passed, and Wu Gang always worked hard to cut trees every day, but the magical osmanthus tree is still the same, full of vitality. Every Mid-Autumn Festival, the fragrance is everywhere. Only on Mid-Autumn Festival, Wu Gang had a short rest under the tree and spent the reunion festival with the world.
The osmanthus tree is a symbol of lofty, chastity, honor, friendship and auspiciousness. Anyone who succeeds in his career and becomes successful in success is called "winning osmanthus". The myth of "Moon Palace Fairy Osmanthus" gives the world endless imagination. In the long-term historical development process, osmanthus has formed a profound cultural connotation and distinct national characteristics in China.
"It depends on what type of osmanthus tree Mr. Yun wants to buy." Boss Li said, after all, the prices of different types of osmanthus trees vary greatly.
"Are there any other types of osmanthus?" Yun Tao asked curiously.
"Based on different ways of distinguishing osmanthus, there are roughly four species, and their prices vary greatly." Boss Li said.
"Boss Li, can you explain it to me?" Yun Tao said.
"There is no problem with this. The osmanthus tree is divided into August laurel, four-season osmanthus, and red osmanthus. Among them, there are golden osmanthus and silver osmanthus. The osmanthus is the most fragrant and most expensive variety among the osmanthus tree varieties. Although the osmanthus blooms in all seasons, the fragrance of flowers is very light."
"Can you find more details?"
Yun Tao said that since you want to buy osmanthus tree, Yun Tao still wants to understand the difference. Only by relying on the situation, Yun Tao can you know which osmanthus tree you choose is the best.
"No problem, the leaves of this golden osmanthus have serrated teeth, which are wider than those of the olive osmanthus. The flowers are yellow with different shades of darkness, with strong or extremely strong fragrance, and the flowers are more likely to fall off. The flowering period is autumn. It is the most common type cultivated in various places."
"The edges of silver osmanthus leaves are smoother and larger. The flowers are yellowish-white or light yellow, with a lighter fragrance, and the flowers are stronger. In the autumn period, they are generally less cultivated."
"The tail tip of the olive scent is relatively long, and some leaf edges are also more obvious. The flowers are orange-yellow or orange-red, which are very beautiful, but the fragrance is lighter and blooms in autumn. Although the flowers are brighter, due to the lighter fragrance, the number of cultivation in various places is not as high as that in gold osmanthus."
"Four Seasons Osmanthus: The leaves are round and have almost no tail tips, the branches are a little loose, and the flowering period is easier to distinguish. The flowers are yellowish-white or light yellow, and the fragrance is lighter. However, the flowers bloom several times within a year, and are more prosperous in autumn. Because of their blooming many times, although the fragrance is lighter, they are still very popular among people. They are often potted for indoor decoration."
"The branches of golden osmanthus, silver osmanthus and dan osmanthus grow straight upward and are tree-like; the plants of four-season osmanthus are shorter and have weaker growth potential, and are often shrub-like."
Boss Li explained in detail to Yun Tao that the osmanthus tree is much more expensive than the willow tree. If Mr. Yun could buy a lot of osmanthus tree, he would have earned a considerable income.
"How much does each type of osmanthus cost? I'm talking about saplings that cost less than one year."
Yun Tao said that osmanthus trees are very expensive, but saplings are probably not much expensive, so it is more cost-effective to buy saplings. He has "advanced planting techniques" in hand, so what are you afraid of? He doesn't have much money left now. If he buys adult osmanthus trees, Yun Tao would suspect that he would go bankrupt if he didn't buy a few.
"If you buy the flowers of osmanthus seedlings, it will be much cheaper." Boss Li said, feeling disappointed. If you buy the adult osmanthus, you will give it yourself.
"How much does it cost?" Yun Tao asked again.
"This is one hundred golden osmanthus seedling, eighty-one silver osmanthus seedlings, and one hundred and twenty-one osmanthus seedlings in all seasons. This is a bit more expensive, and it costs two hundred and twenty-one." Boss Li said.
"That's it, then I'll give me ten osmanthus seedlings in all seasons, and five other osmanthus trees each." Yun Tao said.
...
In this way, Yun Tao followed Boss Li to walk around the garden and bought ten persimmon trees, ten bayberry trees, ten mango trees, and twelve different varieties of vines.
