Jinjiang genuine 26
After spending most of the day, Ye Han picked out more than 30 red osmanthus trees and a dozen silver osmanthus trees at the nursery base. Wang Hongnian and his partner picked out more than 90 osmanthus trees that met the requirements, and they couldn't choose the rest.
Although the nursery base covers a vast area, they have selected osmanthus trees with a unit price of more than 2,500 yuan, good appearance and beautiful crown shape.
In addition to high-end varieties worth tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of yuan, they have picked almost all the best osmanthus trees in the base.
The rest either did not reach the breast diameter required, or had a crown width that was too low, or had branches and leaves that were not lush enough. In short, they did not meet Ye Han's requirements.
In fact, in addition to planting large trees, a large part of the nursery base is cultivating seedlings.
The cost of seedlings is low and the planting density is high. 3,000 to 4,000 trees can be planted per acre. Many customers purchase seedlings in bulk and raise them slowly after returning home.
It's rare to find someone as generous as Ye Han.
Apart from government departments, few people would buy so many big trees at once, and they specifically choose expensive ones. It is no exaggeration to say that they are very wealthy.
There are a total of 137 osmanthus trees, and the quoted price for each tree is different, adding up to nearly 400,000 yuan. Even with a 20% discount, it would still be 320,000 yuan.
It is indeed expensive, nearly three times more expensive than the big tree we introduced last time.
And according to the plan, the number of osmanthus flowers is still not enough, so we have to go to another nursery base to select them in the afternoon.
It is estimated that it will cost about 500,000 yuan just to introduce plants such as osmanthus.
Ye Han looked at the quotation on the contract and quickly signed it after confirming that it was correct.
Yubai's fingertips held the gel pen and wrote in one go. The two words "Ye Han" were clear and beautiful, but they also revealed an unquestionable tenacity.
The handwriting reflects the character of the person.
Manager Luo held the signed contract and smiled from ear to ear.
He likes this kind of straightforward people.
As expected of a leader, he is very courageous despite his young age. He signed a contract worth over 300,000 yuan without blinking an eye.
Manager Luo smiled and said, "I just called the boss, and he agreed to move the old tree and said he would help with the relationship with the garden department."
It's a matter of returning a favor.
We have to maintain such a big client well. I heard that he runs a botanical garden, so there will probably be many opportunities for cooperation in the future.
Judging from the frequency of introducing plants, he is definitely a wealthy man.
Ye Han was also slightly relieved and planned to ask Wang Yun to prepare the application materials after returning.
Generally, the initial review by the government department takes about five days. During this period, she has to water the osmanthus tree with some plant nutrient solution to avoid problems caused by transplanting.
After transplanting, it will take at least some time for the ancient tree to recover to its original state, so time is still very tight.
In the afternoon, Ye Han went to another nursery and selected more than 30 osmanthus trees and more than 100 good-quality seedlings, spending 150,000 yuan.
At this point, all the osmanthus trees have finally been selected, with a total cost of 470,000 yuan.
I have to say, it’s really expensive.
The funds were suddenly reduced by nearly one-sixth.
With such expenses, she suddenly felt that 3.3 million yuan was not a lot.
Building a botanical garden really requires huge financial support, which is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Osmanthus Garden.
Ye Han thought that after the 260-year-old No. 1 Red Osmanthus tree was moved here and gradually regained its vitality, combined with the ornamental value of the red osmanthus and the fragrance of the golden osmanthus that could be smelled from miles away, it should be able to be used as a special flower area.
Together with the Epiphyllum Pavilion, two special scenic spots have been planned, and it is very likely that an S-level plant will be harvested.
From this perspective, it is quite worthwhile. After introducing this batch of osmanthus flowers, we can enjoy the beautiful garden scenery and smell the fragrance of osmanthus flowers every year.
After the trees were selected, Ye Han handed over the rest of the matters to Wang Hongnian and the other man. They were experienced and she didn't need to worry too much.
It will take at least a week to dig, transport and transplant more than 200 osmanthus trees.
This is also the reason why Ye Han went to choose the osmanthus tree first today. Other potted flowers are easy to transport, but this kind of big tree is not easy. Large trucks need to make several trips back and forth every day, and are busy all the time.
It was almost 5 o'clock when Ye Han came back in the afternoon.
The summer sun is still strong, just not as glaring.
When I was at the nursery base today, although the roof was shaded, the temperature did not drop much.
Ye Han had been inside for most of the day, and felt so hot that he was about to smoke. At this moment, his porcelain-white face was slightly red, and sweat wet the broken hair on his temples, but his facial features were as beautiful as if they were soaked in mist, which was very different from his usual temperament.
When she came in from the back door, several waves of tourists who had not yet left could not help but look at her, and only remembered her after Ye Han walked away.
"Damn, why does she look so familiar? She is the director of Huajianji!"
"I remember it too. I saw it in the behind-the-scenes footage before!"
"She is the headmaster? She is so young."
"So tall, I feel like he's almost half a head taller than me."
"Oh, I can't see it anymore. It would have been nice to take a photo with her earlier."
As the popularity of Huajianji grew on the Internet, the director Ye Han also attracted widespread attention.
Although she rarely appears in public and keeps a low profile, it does not prevent the public from being interested in her.
A series of news shows that it was she who created the current situation of Huajianji, and her age of 22 is even more shocking.
Someone has looked up Ye Han's identity: she is the most beautiful girl in the department at S University and she majored in botany, but no more information can be found. Other information has been blocked by the system.
This makes Ye Han's identity even more mysterious. Some say there are powerful investors behind her, some say there is investment from the Fu Group... In short, there are many different opinions.
After Ye Han came back, he immediately turned on the air conditioner, went to the bathroom to take a shower, and changed his clothes before he felt much refreshed.
After she came out, she immediately contacted Wang Yun to prepare the relevant materials and submitted an application for the relocation and protection of the ancient trees.
This matter urgency requires that after approval from the relevant departments, an on-site inspection must be conducted and no time can be wasted.
At the same time, after thinking about it for a few days and reading through the relevant information, Ye Han has already had some ideas about the protected plants to be introduced.
There are many kinds of national wild protected plants. According to the "National Key Protected Wild Plant List" latest revised in 2021, there are 40 categories and 455 species of first- and second-level protected plants, not to mention third-level national protected plants, which will only be more.
Their growing environments are different, with huge differences between them, and many of them only grow in fixed wild environments.
For example, the national second-level wild protected plant [Rhodiola rosea] grows on alpine grasslands and hillside rocks at an altitude of 1,700-2,600 meters and cannot be introduced.
The artificial cultivation technology of some plants, such as ginkgo trees, is already very mature.
It is a national first-class protected plant, but now it can be seen everywhere in the market and has become a common landscaping tree species. It can be planted and bought and sold as long as the relevant procedures are completed.
Unfortunately, most of the artificially cultivated ginkgo are the product of "asexual reproduction" (cutting method), which is similar to cloning, and the genetic sequence does not show diversity.
Ancient ginkgo originated 300 million years ago and survived the mass extinction of species during the dinosaur era, making it a precious living fossil in the plant kingdom. Unfortunately, the mass extinction left only one species of ginkgo.
Ginkgo class, Ginkgoales, Ginkgoaceae, Ginkgo genus, Ginkgo species. From class to species, there is only one of them, without any close relatives.
However, there are very few wild ancient ginkgo trees, and they are dioecious, making reproduction difficult. Many of them have not produced seedlings for more than ten years.
Once extinct, it means that this ancient race left over from ancient times will no longer exist.
Therefore, even though ginkgo trees can be seen everywhere, they have always been listed as endangered and the status has never changed over the years.
Currently, it is not only Ginkgo that is artificially cultivated. The national first-class protected plant [Metasequoia] is also very common in daily life.
In addition, there are many second- and third-level protected plants circulating in the market, and they have formed a scale. Many people may not realize that they are rare and endangered plants.
But from a genetic point of view, they have continued the gene sequence of the mother plant to a certain extent and are also nationally protected plants.
Then there is the question of which plants to introduce.
First, confirm whether the environment of Huajianji is suitable for the growth of these plants.
Second, the introduced plant species should be integrated. They cannot be planted here and there, which is too scattered and cannot be taken into account.
Thirdly, it is best to combine it with the plants in the garden to form a landscape area, taking a two-pronged approach.
Ye Han picked out several major categories from more than a thousand protected plants.
Pinaceae: Lutsea galbana (12 species, most of which are Class II protected plants), Golden pine, Scots pine, etc.
Podocarpaceae: all genera (more than 100 species, second-class protected plants)
Maple trees: catalpa maple, temple maple, horn maple, five-leaf maple, etc.
The first two can be combined with common cypress trees such as juniper and oriental cypress to form a pine and cypress garden, forming a garden landscape in itself, which can be placed next to the flower viewing area.
If it is matched properly, it will become a new landscape area.
The latter can be used together with common maple trees and maple trees to create large maple forests, which will be a sea of red in November and are also a very beautiful sight.
However, there are fewer types of maple trees, which do not meet the 20 types required by the system.
The safest way is to introduce plants from the Pinaceae and Podocarpaceae families and build a pine and cypress garden with the required species and numbers.
After Ye Han made the decision, he listed the specific numbers and types and sent it to Wang Yun.
During the days when the approval process was ongoing, Ye Han went to the flower market to select other types of flowers.
First is the Epiphyllum.
Epiphyllum is an epiphytic succulent shrub of the Cactaceae family and the genus Epiphyllum. It is a large plant, 2-6 meters tall, and is native to tropical deserts from Mexico to Brazil.
The climate there is dry and hot, and it is only cool at night, so the night-blooming cereus blooms at night to avoid the scorching sun and prevent the loss of a lot of water in the desert environment.
Including the flowering time of only 4-5 hours, these are characteristics developed to adapt to the desert environment.
At present, there is only one species in China, but there are many varieties, which are further divided into large-leaf epiphyllum, fine-leaf epiphyllum, peacock epiphyllum, giant-winged epiphyllum, curled-leaf epiphyllum, sawtooth epiphyllum, etc. The most common one is the large-leaf epiphyllum. ①
It takes about 3 years for Epiphyllum to bloom. If it is not well cared for, it will not bloom for 4-5 years or even its entire life. It is notoriously difficult to grow.
Ye Han walked through the flower markets and surrounding flower cultivation bases and selected more than a hundred pots of Epiphyllum, all of which were plants that were more than five years old and had bloomed last year or this year, so they had a higher probability of blooming.
Although Epiphyllum is a shrub and is 2-6 meters tall, it is an introduced species. Most of the plants on the market are around 70 cm tall, and one meter is considered quite large.
Among them is a pot of Epiphyllum that is about 30 years old, reaching a height of 2 meters. It is hung high up on a rack, and dense branches hang down along the rack, almost covering half of the wall.
It was also the first time that Ye Han saw such a large Epiphyllum, and he was immediately attracted by it: "What's the price of this one?"
"The price is 12,000 yuan, no bargaining. It's rare to grow an Epiphyllum this big. My family is the only one in the market that has it. The flowers are so beautiful. Last year, more than a hundred flowers bloomed. Let me show you the pictures."
Seeing that she was interested, the boss immediately showed her the photos.
It was really shocking. More than a hundred snow-white night-blooming cereus flowers bloomed on the drooping branches, each nearly ten centimeters tall.
The petals are open to a great extent, with the outermost petals being slender and fully open, and the petals becoming fuller as they go inwards. It feels like a green jungle dotted with countless beautiful flowers, completely covering the entire wall. The reputation of 'Beauty Under the Moon' is well deserved.
Now that there was money in the account, Ye Han was no longer hesitant and decided to buy it immediately.
The wholesale price of a pot of Epiphyllum that is about one meter tall and has lush branches is 600 yuan (over 8 years old). Together with some older and rarer varieties, the total cost of introducing Epiphyllum this time is about 130,000 yuan.
This is another considerable expense.
The task of introducing no less than 200 species and 1,000 flowers and plants is currently far from enough in terms of variety and has been completed by 40% in terms of quantity, which is still far from enough overall.
Next, Ye Han selected a lot of flowers at the flower breeding base, intending to place them under evergreen trees or in large areas to improve the garden landscape.
This time she didn't have to carefully choose the year, flower type, etc. She would give priority to choosing different kinds of flowers, such as globe amaranth, poppy, dahlia, daisy, various chrysanthemums...
The flowers here are all sold at wholesale prices, and it is very common to buy them at a few yuan or a dozen yuan per plant. Of course, some species are more expensive, but the overall price does not exceed 30,000 yuan.
The task of introducing flowers has been basically completed, and the quantity has even exceeded the target by a lot.
Thousands of pots of flowers had to be transported in trucks, so Ye Han arranged for people to place them in the chrysanthemum hall first and provided shade for them.
Once the exhibition greenhouse is built, these epiphyllums will be transplanted there, and other flowers will also be transplanted among the woods and lawns by gardeners.
Forestry Bureau.
Director Peng is reviewing the applications submitted from below to introduce nationally protected plants.
In fact, most of them are familiar faces, such as W City’s large forestry base, national park, artificial breeding center, municipal botanical garden... the approval process is very fast.
It’s the same process every time, so just go through it roughly.
Suddenly, a strange name was mixed in.
"Huajianji Botanical Garden?" Director Peng took a closer look. This must be the newly opened private botanical garden, right?
He had an impression.
It’s not about whether it’s popular or not. The Forestry Bureau thinks that thing is useless. They even specifically dislike some Internet celebrity attractions that trample on the ecological environment and have been carrying out rectification.
What impressed him most was that there was a Victoria amazonica plant in this botanical garden with a leaf diameter of 3.35 meters, which not only broke the domestic record of 2.78 meters, but also broke the foreign record of 3.2 meters.
Just a few days ago, the provincial forestry department called the director.
He went to report on his work that day and happened to be there, so he heard some of it.
It is said that botanical gardens and research institutes in subordinate cities have applied to introduce the Victoria amazonica species from Huajianji. On the one hand, they are conducting research to see if it can be hybridized with other Victoria amazonicas into new varieties, or maintain its own huge characteristics; on the other hand, they are also considering its ornamental value.
The director gave him this task.
Director Peng was preparing to go to Huajianji for research with Dr. Wang from the Academy of Forestry, but he didn't expect the other party's application to come.
Director Peng: "How long has this botanical garden been open? Less than two months."
Assistant Liu: "Yes, Director. It will be exactly two months by the end of the month."
"Oh..." Director Peng looked at the materials in front of him, including the arrangement and planning of the introduced plants and the current environmental conditions, "It looks good."
"Well, you can make some arrangements. Call Deputy Director Lian and Dr. Wang to make an appointment with the director of the botanical garden. Let's arrange it...after the garden closes the day after tomorrow. Then we can go and take a look."
Assistant Liu: "Good leader."
Assistant Liu: "Leader, the ancient tree management department has also received an application from Huajianji to relocate a 260-year-old osmanthus tree, and is preparing to conduct a survey."
These government departments are all related, and the migration of ancient trees in and out is also related to forestry ecology.
Director Peng smiled and said, "That's great. Let's call their experts to come along and see what the environment there is like."
*
Ye Han originally thought that only people related to the ancient tree protection department came to investigate, but he didn't expect that seven people came at once, and their ranks were not low.
A group of people came in a mighty manner.
Among them were Director Peng, Deputy Director Lian and Assistant Liu from the Forestry Bureau; Dr. Wang and Dr. Hou from the Institute, and two experts from the Landscape and Ancient Tree Management Department.
Ye Han and Wang Yun, along with a dozen employees from Huajianji, stood at the door to greet them. When they heard Assistant Liu introduce their identities, the employees obviously felt nervous.
Wow, so many leaders from government departments coming at once, what’s going on?
Ye Han behaved very calmly and introduced himself gracefully.
Director Peng and others couldn't help but look at her. Is the director so young?
Can you manage such a large botanical garden well?
Opening a botanical garden is not just playing house.
With this question in mind, the group walked into the botanical garden and were attracted by the rockery landscape and the blue water lilies blooming in the pond at first sight.
At this time, the water lilies have just bloomed, and the petals are opening outward layer by layer, like lotus lanterns opening layer by layer. The petals gradually change from dark blue at the top to light blue, revealing a golden yellow heart in the center. The petals stand upright, attracting attention under the sunlight.
Maybe it just looks good and beautiful in the eyes of other tourists, but in the eyes of these professionals, it is simply well cultivated!
The flower diameter is larger than that of ordinary species, the number and layers of petals are greater, and the blooming range is larger. Even the leaves are greener and very thick, and the color on the back of the leaves is almost invisible.
Dr. Wang took a closer look, observed it carefully for a long time, and took photos to preserve it.
The others also exchanged glances and said in their hearts: Not bad.
Although they had just come in, it could be seen from the vegetation and water lilies beside the rockery that Huajianji had a certain strength.
But let’s look further ahead.
These are common herbs and shrubs that grow well when the climatic conditions are suitable. Other species also need to be investigated.
So the group continued forward, walking along the wide road.
But they walked very slowly, stopping and starting, touching and checking the condition of the plants from time to time, and nodding their heads constantly.
Ye Han and Wang Yun accompanied them.
Tall deciduous and fallen-leaved trees block much of the sunlight and have lush branches and leaves, and there are newly transplanted laurel trees with excellent crown shapes and lush greenery, showing no signs of discomfort after transplanting.
"Lao Lian, look at this crape myrtle tree. It's in full bloom. I can't take my eyes off it. Wow, the fruit set rate is high too. Look at the fruits, they are plump and round."
"These camphor trees are growing so lush and in great shape."
We walked step by step, stopping every now and then, and finally arrived at the highlight of the day - the giant water lily by the artificial lake.
When I was writing, I was looking through the 2021 revised "National Key Protected Wild Plant List", which only has first- and second-level protected wild plants, but no third-level, lighting a cigarette.jpg
Note ①: The varieties of Epiphyllum come from the Internet.
