Compared with the past, there are many kinds of fruit trees, many of which have never been heard of or seen before. Today, I saw a new fruit in the market, called "tree grape". Merchants say it is rich in anthocyanins and can bear fruit four times a year. It's not cheap on the market. A catty can sell more than 100, but there are few people. Farmer: Don't be fooled. What's going on here?
Many friends who like to travel to the south should have seen it, and some people may even have bought tree grapes. This fruit has only warmed up in recent years. It looks like grapes. The fruit is spherical, blue at first, then gradually turns red and purple, and then turns purple and black when it is fully mature. But unlike grapes, tree grapes don't grow in clusters, but grow directly on the trunk and the main branches of the tree. They stick tightly to the trunk and look like they are artificially stuck to the trunk. Moreover, the trunks of vines are very tall, and some can grow to about 15 meters. It is for these reasons that it is named Tree Grape.
However, tree grape is just a popular folk name. Its scientific name is Jiabaoguo, which is a perennial evergreen plant native to Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina in South America. However, the cultivation history of Garbo fruit in China is not long. It was planted in Taiwan Province Province in 1960s, and then introduced to Fujian, Guangdong, Zhejiang, Sichuan, Yunnan and other southern regions, but it was not conducive to its growth in the northern region. This is because Garbo likes warm and humid climate, the suitable temperature is 22-25℃, and the low temperature resistance is not very good.
In recent years, the price of Jiabao fruit in the market is not low, which is generally above 120 yuan. On the one hand, it is a novel fruit, which is relatively rare in the domestic market. On the other hand, Jiabao fruit has high nutritional value, and it is a characteristic fruit that integrates beauty, health care and medicine. It is reported that the taste of Jiabao fruit is full of juice, sweet and delicious. At the same time, it is also outstanding in nutrition. It is rich in various nutrients, a large number of mineral elements and some trace elements, especially phenolic substances such as anthocyanins, tannins and phenolic acids. It has strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activities, and has good nutritional value for human health.
What is even more amazing is that Jiabao fruit can blossom and bear fruit all year round, four times a year, and even six times in some places, once every two months on average. But there are not many farmers who grow Jiabao fruit. At present, there is only a small amount of cultivation in the southern region, and many farmers are unwilling to plant it. Why? First, Jiabao fruit seedlings are more expensive. Some Jiabao fruit trees that began to bear fruit sold for several thousand yuan a year ago. This planting cost is really high, and many farmers are worried about being cheated again. Secondly, it takes a long time from planting to fruiting. Although there is grafting technology now, and grafted Jiabao fruit trees are generally sold in the market, this fruit tree grows slowly and generally takes 5-8 years to begin to bear fruit. After such a long time, who knows if the price behind is good?
Thirdly, farmers have no experience and technology. After all, this is a strange new fruit tree. Farmers have no experience in this field and have never planted them. They are afraid of easy planting because they are worried about the complexity of planting. Another reason is that the price of Jiabao fruit in the market is too high, and now it costs 60-70 yuan a catty. Such a high price is a small number of buyers, and farmers are also worried about market comparison. At the same time, it is difficult to pick Jiabao fruit, the picking cost is high, and the fruit is not resistant to storage. When it is ripe, it will soon rot if it can't be sold.
