What are the new varieties of seedlings?
With the upgrading of the demand for landscaping and the advancement of agricultural technology innovation, the cultivation of new seedling varieties is becoming a new direction for the industry's development. Scientific research institutes are continuously introducing improved and self-developed varieties in parallel, launching high-quality varieties that possess both ornamental and economic value, injecting new vitality into urban landscape construction and characteristic agriculture.
Introduced and Improved Seedling Varieties
North American Landscape Tree Series
North American crabapples, with their unique umbrella-shaped crowns and the ability to change colors in spring and autumn, have become preferred species for street trees. This variety is outstanding in its cold and drought resistance, adaptable to temperatures ranging from -30°C to 40°C, with an annual growth rate of 80-120cm.
Improved North American Red Maple Variety
The locally improved 'Autumn Fire' red maple has leaves that display a brighter scarlet color, with the colorful foliage period extended to 45-60 days. Its well-developed root system effectively prevents soil erosion, making it particularly suitable for slope greening projects.
Self-developed Characteristic Varieties
Four-season Blooming Camellia
The new variety breaks the traditional camellia's single-season blooming limitation, achieving year-round blooming through genetic recombination, with an annual blooming amount of 300-500 flowers per plant. It can grow normally in an environment ranging from -5°C to 38°C, with a 76% increase in resistance to (T-J) disease.
Specialty Fruit-type Seedlings
The red-fleshed apple creates a dual-purpose variety for fresh eating and ornamental use, with its rose-red flesh rich in anthocyanins (content up to 35mg/100g) and optimized fruit sugar-acid ratio to 22:1. This variety uses dwarf and close planting techniques, with an output of up to 3000kg per mu, and the peak fruiting period is提前 to the third year after planting.
Driven by the construction of ecological cities, these new varieties have formed a complete industrial chain. In the future, the focus will be on developing varieties with stronger stress resistance and lower maintenance costs, using molecular marker-assisted breeding techniques to continuously improve the quality and economic benefits of seedlings.
