"Girl" is commonly known as Goose Bird, whose scientific name is Golden Lantern Fruit, and the fruit has a papyrus-like outer skin. The north and south also gave it many names, namely "foreign girl", "hanging golden lantern" and "fragrant girl" in the north, and "shy fruit" and "smiling fruit" in the south, which belong to solanaceous fruits. It is a cold-resistant and drought-resistant berry, which is native to virgin forests and mostly grows on hillsides.
Introduction of girl fruit
Girls' fruit, also known as brocade lantern, is an annual herb of solanaceae, and is also called Red Girl Fruit and Brocade Lantern. The girl fruit looks like a cherry or berry, but it is a close relative of tomato, and the plant life span is generally 8 years. Girder fruit grows in mountainous or semi-mountainous areas all over the country, most commonly in the northeast, and widely distributed in southern Africa, Madagascar, France and the Andes in South America abroad.
Girl fruit has strong adaptability and likes to grow in sunny, loose and well-drained organic soil. Its cultivation technology is relatively simple, generally only through seed treatment, seedling raising, field planting and field management. Until the middle and late August, the fruit will be harvested when it is red, and a batch will be harvested when it is ripe, and it will be harvested in mid-September.
If the fruit is not mature enough, the fruit can be sprayed with 2000 times ethephon and piled up until it is fully mature. After the fruit is harvested, it should be placed in a cool, dry and ventilated place, evenly spread out, and it should be turned and ventilated frequently. One method commonly used by the people is to string the harvested girl fruits and hang the bunched girl fruits in a ventilated place, which can be preserved for several months.
