New traditional tree

It is common to plant trees in rural courtyards. Living in the countryside, with an independent courtyard, spacious and bright, with sufficient light. Villagers like to use the courtyard and plant some trees, which can not only play a good shading effect, but also have a certain ornamental effect. Trees planted for several years still have high economic value, so planting trees in the yard has become the most common in rural areas.

In the past, there were many kinds of trees planted in rural areas, many of which were traditional trees with a long history and became popular trees. With the changes in rural life in recent years, some traditional trees that were often seen in the past are now less and less seen in rural areas, especially in rural courtyards. What is the reason?

Paulownia tree: This kind of tree has fast growth speed, large leaves and good shading effect. It used to be very common in rural areas. Paulownia trees are delicate and have high economic value, and everyone likes to plant them. But in recent years, few people are planting new paulownia trees in rural areas, mainly because it is difficult to clean up.

Paulownia trees are planted in the yard, which call things off all year round. After flowering in spring, the flowers will fall to the ground and need to be cleaned every day. In summer, big green bugs will fall from trees, and it is easy to fall on the table when eating in the yard. In autumn, the leaves fall one after another, making it more difficult to clean up. When winter comes, the branches of paulownia trees are dry and brittle. When a gust of wind blows, branches will fall off. Therefore, this kind of tree needs to be cleaned all year round, and it is simply not planted.

Sophora japonica: This tree, also known as Sophora japonica, was introduced to China during the Qing Dynasty. Sophora japonica is hard and robust, suitable for planting in many areas, and has no strict requirements on the environment. For a long time, it was a common tree species in rural courtyards. In spring, flowers bloom like snow, and the fragrance is rich. Sophora japonica is sweet and delicious. It is also the main source of Sophora japonica honey. In recent years, the number of Sophora japonica in rural areas has dropped sharply, mainly because the growth rate of Sophora japonica is slow, and its name contains the word Gui. In recent years, the number of Sophora japonica in the courtyard has decreased, and other tree species have been chosen instead.

Azadirachta indica: This kind of tree is the most common tree in rural areas. In spring, flowers bloom like flowers, fruits hang heavily, and clusters of fruits look like sheep dung and eggs. Also known as sheep dung egg tree, the fruit is often used by children as slingshot bullets. Melia azedarach has a bitter taste all over the tree, and there are almost no pests. Moreover, its branches and leaves also contain certain toxins, which is a good material often used to repel insects in rural toilets in the past. Throwing the branches and leaves of neem tree into the toilet can remove maggots well. The growth rate of Azadirachta azedarach is relatively slow and its economic value is relatively low. In recent years, there are more and more melia azedarach in rural areas. In some cities, neem trees are also planted as green trees.

Many traditional trees are becoming less and less, and they have been planted into fast-growing trees with faster growth. Some will plant some fruit trees and flowering trees, such as walnut trees, persimmon trees and pomegranate trees, all of which are planted in the yard. Some choose to plant some flowering trees to look better, while some traditional trees are becoming less and less. What do you think of this?
