Torch tree is a kind of tree flower, which blooms in summer and autumn. Torch tree is an ornamental plant. It is easier to breed torch trees and does not need professional breeding knowledge. Please refer to this page for knowledge about the culture method of the torch tree.
Introduction of Torch Tree
The torch tree is a small deciduous tree of the genus Lacqueraceae. Odd-pinnate compound leaves alternate, oblong to lanceolate. The erect panicles are terminal, and the ears are bright red. Fruit spheroidal, with red bristles, tightly gathered to form a torch. The fruit will not last for a long time after it matures in September, and the leaves will turn red after the autumn, which is very spectacular. Native to Europe and the United States, it often grows on open sand or gravel soil. It is cultivated in various provinces (regions) north of the Yellow River Basin. It is mainly used for barren hills and greening as a scenic forest tree species for saline-alkali wasteland. Torch trees breed at a fast rate, and many greening trees were incomparable until 2012, which is why they have unique characteristics and serious potential hazards.
The colorful tree species, Torch Tree, which was once widely promoted in Beijing, will not be planted in the future. Torch trees have withdrawn from the main color tree species list because they are breeding too fast and pose a potential threat to native species.
Many people are familiar with the mention of the torch tree. On both sides of the main roads of Beijing suburbs such as Beijing-Tibet Expressway and Liuhuan Road, a large number of torch trees have been planted for more than 10 years. The leaves of this colorful leaf tree are green in spring and summer, and gradually turn red in autumn, especially in the autumn season. The bright red stretch into pieces and is very spectacular.
The torch tree is beautiful, and the speed of reproduction is too fast."
According to the relevant person in charge of the Beijing Municipal Bureau of Landscaping and Greening, the torch tree was originally produced in North America, introduced to China in the 1950s and 1960s, and promoted planting in Beijing in 2000. Before and after. An important reason for the introduction of the Torch Tree was that it was adaptable, drought-tolerant and liveable, and it was easy to form a landscape. However, after planting for more than 10 years, it was found that because of the extremely fast breeding speed, the torch tree has already caused a potential for the growth of other local tree species.
Where there are large torch trees, the other trees are basically not growing.
How fast is the growth rate of the torch tree? Relevant experts have found that the roots of the torch tree are extremely strong. In the first year, a torch tree was planted. In the second year, it developed into more than 10 trees. After 5 years, it will cover all the radius of 5 meters to 8 meters. land.
What is more worrying for garden experts is that the torch tree has almost no "natural enemies" in Beijing. Its leaves have dense fluff, and the fruit has spikes. No insects are willing to eat it, so pests and diseases rarely occur. If you let it grow freely, it is easy to flood.
Since 2001, Beijing has implemented the cultivation of colorful leaf trees as a key project, and the suburban counties will increase the number of colorful leaf forests almost every year. The torch tree was once used as the main plant species, and it is widely planted in plains and mountainous areas like native trees such as Astragalus. The formation of the Torch Grove adds a magnificent color to the fall of Beijing, but its disadvantages are gradually emerging. In some areas, the torch tree has been "scarred" because of its over-reproduction. That is, only a layer of leaves grows on the canopy. The lower part of the crown is due to insufficient sunshine, the branches are dry, and the leaves fall off seriously. The secretions produced by the torch tree can also cause adverse reactions in some sensitive people.
The torch tree, the scientific name of the flat branch, is commonly known as the fire. Because of its red fruit, the tree is like a torch, called the "Torch Tree." Torch trees are native to North America and introduced to China in the 1950s and 1960s.
The torch tree presents three colors each year: white flowers in spring, green leaves in summer, and red fruits in autumn and winter. It is a beautiful landscape plant. Generally, the height of the tree is less than 1 meter, the roots are tangled, the clusters are puffy, the branches are twisted, the bark is black, and the shape is ancient.
