There is a kind of papaya can not be eaten is very fragrant
Talking about papaya, I think most of my friends heart the first time to think of the southern kind of papaya that can be eaten! The first thing that comes to mind is the kind of papaya that can be eaten in the south! Today I'm not talking about that kind of papaya! This kind of papaya it can not eat, its fruit is a kind of medicine!
It is also known as: iron foot pear, Sichuan papaya, Xuan papaya, wrinkled skin papaya, and so on ! It is a deciduous shrub that grows in many parts of the country.
It doesn't grow too tall, usually only about two meters high, and the branches will grow a lot of thick thorns! In March and April every year, the branches will be full of a small pink flowers, and peach blossom has some similarity, especially beautiful!
By fall in September and October, its fruit ripens. Its shape is a bit similar to that of a balsam pear, and it is a bit larger than a balsam pear! Its fruit is a medicinal herb that has the ability to soothe the muscles, harmonize the stomach, and dissolve dampness!
When its fruit is ripe, it will have a very fragrant odor, smells like you want to take a bite. But after you take a bite, you'll be sorry, it'll knock your teeth out!
When I was a kid, we used to plant a lot of papaya trees around our yard and vegetable fields because they were full of thorns and could protect the yard and the land.
The cows, sheep and other small animals did not dare to drill through the papaya bushes! So, it can be a good way to block these animals and keep the vegetable plot from the scourge of these animals!
This papaya tree is also very easy to survive, it is adaptable, it likes light and shade, drought-resistant, cold-resistant! Just plant a few and they will survive!
In the spring, in March and April, the papaya flowers around the yard bloom, and the pink color is very beautiful! Papaya trees planted around the yard will be pruned frequently.
And, its branches are cut just as nicely as the landscape trees along the roadside! So, with pink papaya flowers blooming all over the branches, those papaya trees look especially beautiful!
In the fall, in September, the papayas start to ripen! The adults in the family would pick all the papayas, cut them in half vertically, and put them under the sun to dry!
After they are dried, people who collect medicinal herbs will take them away, and the papayas will be sold very cheaply, and you won't be able to buy them for much money! When ripe, the papaya smells delicious.
We were children at that time, and sometimes we couldn't help but take a bite, and then we were so sour that we couldn't even open our eyes!
This papaya tree is very easy to survive, so friends in rural areas can try to plant some around the yard, which can play a role in protecting the yard! You can also watch the papaya flowers bloom in the spring, and you can also see the branches full of papayas in the fall! It's actually no less ornamental than a landscape tree!
