Present situation and distribution of resources

Spine buds are native to China and mainly distributed in China, Japan, Korea and Siberia, Russia. At present, it is mainly distributed in the northeast of China. Among them, Benxi, Dandong, Huanren, Kuandian, Fushun, Xinbin and Qingyuan in Liaoning, Liuhe, Tonghua, Ji 'an, Changbai, Huadian and Meihe in Jilin, Shangzhi, Wuchang, Hailin, Yichun and Mishan in Heilongjiang are more distributed and rich in resources.

Thorn buds like to grow in valleys, sunny slopes, miscellaneous forests with fertile, moist or semi-shady soil, broad-leaved forests, mixed forests and secondary forests, or in forest margins, shrubs, ditches and other places.

In recent years, because the area of natural forests is decreasing year by year, and the afforestation on barren hills and slopes is single, the living area of thorn buds is also decreasing year by year. In addition, the destructive and predatory harvesting in some areas, even cutting stems and transplanting, have sharply reduced the resources of thorn buds, and in some areas they are in danger of extinction.

development prospect

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, people's consumption concepts are also changing. In diet, the original big fish and meat with high protein and fat have been neglected, while the wild vegetables with pollution-free, low fat, low sugar, multi-fiber and multi-vitamins, as well as disease prevention and treatment, health care and longevity, are increasingly favored by people. The thorn buds grow freely in the natural environment, and the requirements for environmental conditions are not high. Using seeds to propagate, the multiplication rate is high, the growth is fast, the cost is low, there is no risk, and the operation process is easy to master. At present, artificial cultivation is still in its infancy, resources are decreasing, social demand is increasing, and it has a huge domestic and international market. In recent years, spiny buds have been exported to Japan and South Korea in large quantities. Exchange tens of millions of yuan in foreign exchange for our country every year. At the same time, people in China are also very fond of thorn buds, especially a plate of thorn buds in high-end hotels is worth hundreds of yuan. However, due to years of collection, plants died, wild resources were destroyed year by year, and the output decreased year by year. At present, the output can not meet the market demand, so it is imperative to develop artificial production of tender buds. Therefore, the artificial cultivation of tender thorn buds has a very broad development prospect.

Wild spiny buds are distributed along the veins of Changbai Mountain and Xiaoxing 'anling Mountain in northeast China, and their congeneric plants are distributed in mountainous areas of East China, South China and Southwest China, and their tender buds are as edible as spiny buds. Therefore, artificial production can be developed in areas where wild plants of the same genus are distributed.
