How is osmanthus picked?

1, delivery time

Osmanthus fragrans is picked in the early morning, when the petals have some dew in early autumn, which smells more fragrant. You can see which tree is blooming well in advance during the day, and you can pick it at dawn the next day.

Step 2 choose in order

When picking, you need to break branches first, then pick flowers, from outside to inside, from bottom to top. And the flowers and branches picked first need to be placed in a cool place. The reason why we want to pick branches together is because the mature osmanthus is very fragile, and it will fall off when touched, and the petals are relatively small. In order to ensure the integrity of flowers, it is best to pick them with branches to save picking time.

Step 3 get ready.

When picking, you need to spread a layer of plastic film on the ground. When the flowers are thick, you can pick them with a stick. Even if the flowers fall into the plastic film, it will not cause waste.
