Article Guide: Discover the various ornamental tree species and the introduction of the top four common ornamental trees, let's learn about them together.
Hello everyone, I'm Xiaohua, and I'm happy to meet you all here again. The world is vast and full of wonders, and just in nature alone, there are countless plants, dazzling and endless. Some are suitable for indoor cultivation, while others are ideal for outdoor planting in gardens. Since I've already covered the topic of indoor flowering plants, today I'll respond to some friends' requests and introduce several plants that are suitable for planting in the garden. Friends who are interested can quickly start planting!
First, the osmanthus tree
The osmanthus, evergreen, flowering abundantly with fragrant leaves, is known in folklore as the "queen of autumn flowers" and is widely used in various gardening fields. It has good greening effects and fast growth, and can show significant results in the first year of planting, fulfilling its intended purpose. For instance, certain components in the osmanthus can resist threats from harmful gases like sulfur dioxide and hydrogen fluoride.
The biggest issue during cultivation is its poor cold resistance. Friends who intend to plant in the north must take proper care and management during the winter, otherwise, it will be difficult for the plants to survive the cold.
The plant culture of osmanthus is long-lasting and new, and in ancient Chinese gardens, people often paired it with buildings and rocks, growing it near pavilions and terraces, with the saying of "double osmanthus in the courtyard" and "double osmanthus fragrance." Nowadays, some schools also tend to plant some osmanthus trees in the garden, drawing from the meaning of breaking the calabash in the palace.
Second, the podocarpus macrophyllus
Also known as the Japanese yew, it is an evergreen coniferous tree of the podocarpus family, reaching a height of nearly twenty meters. The bark is mostly grayish-brown and peels off in thin layers irregularly. It is widely distributed in many provinces of China and is also extensively planted in Japan. The podocarpus macrophyllus is verdant and upright, elegant and enchanting, exuding a unique charm that stands out among other tree species. It symbolizes longevity, wealth, and auspiciousness, and is deeply loved by many, making it the preferred choice for greening plants in gardens and high-end residential buildings.
The plant prefers a warm and humid climate, with an ideal growth temperature of 15-28°C. It is shade-tolerant but not cold-resistant and should be cultivated in an environment with ample diffused light. In terms of soil, it is generally recommended to use sandy soil that is loose, well-draining, and rich in humus.
Third, the magnolia
Officially known as white magnolia, it is a deciduous tree of the magnolia family. The flowers are white with a hint of green and have a fragrance similar to orchids. It is known as the "Hall of Wealth" alongside begonia, peony, and osmanthus, and its cultivation history in China can be traced back to the Spring and Autumn period over two thousand years ago. It was not until the Tang and Song dynasties that large-scale planting began. In classical gardens, magnolias were commonly planted in front of houses and around terraces. Until now, magnolias are still considered high-quality ornamental trees for gardens.
What are the ornamental tree species
Since magnolias are very sensitive to temperature, they are more suitable for planting in warm southern climates. Therefore, across the country, the further south you go, the earlier the plants bloom. At the same time, the blooming time of the plants is also related to temperature. Thus, in the winter maintenance of magnolias, preventing cold and keeping warm is extremely important. Everyone needs to move the potted plants indoors as soon as possible.
Fourth, the begonia
In principle, begonia does not refer to a single plant but is a general term for various flowers of the apple and quince genera, mainly representing begonia flowers and quince. What people usually refer to as begonia is actually begonia flowers, an important temperate ornamental tree. It has a beautiful shape, with flourishing flowers in spring and golden fruits in autumn that are fragrant and refreshing. Whether planted alone in the garden or mixed with other tree species, it has its own merits and is truly a high-quality ornamental plant with great visual appeal.
