Red Torreya yews are blooming
1. Red Torreya yew
Red Torreya yew is a new variety among colorful trees in recent years, and its rootstock is the wild Torreya yew from our mountainous areas. Have you ever heard the phrase "烟花三月下扬州"? The word "烟花" comes from the flowers of Torreya yew. Since the red Torreya yew variety was introduced, Torreya yew has gradually disappeared from people's视野. Compared to Torreya yew, its advantage is that the leaves remain a fiery red color from spring to before they fall in autumn. It blooms around April every year, and after blooming, it looks like "smoke and mist," very dreamy.

2. Red-leafed Berberis
In many places, it is also called purple-leafed Berberis because the color of the leaves can change depending on the amount of sand in the soil. On sandy soil, the leaves are purple, and on clay soil, they are light red. Due to its small size, red-leafed Berberis is generally used as a border hedge plant in gardens, such as along the garden path or in the lawn, trimmed into a neat "auspicious cloud pattern." The combination of red and green leaves creates a very striking visual effect!

3. Red-leafed锦带
It is a red-leafed ornamental plant variety selected from the plant variety red prince锦带. You may have seen ordinary锦带 flowers, which have green leaves and pink or red flowers. However, the red-leafed锦带 variety has red leaves from sprouting to falling. It blooms pink flowers in the hot summer season every year, and when the flowers are abundant, they look like strings of fireworks, very beautiful. It is very sun and cold-resistant and can survive the winter outdoors in the Northeast region. Especially for families with fences, planting this flower next to the fence to create a flower wall will have an even more stunning effect after blooming.

4. Red-flowered Rhododendron
It was mainly used in Hubei, Hunan, Fujian, and the two Guangdong provinces, but in recent years, with the change of climate, it has also appeared in the inland provinces of Northwest China. This plant, red-flowered Rhododendron, has small leaves and mainly appears in the form of hedges and "round balls" in courtyard landscaping. Its flower shape is similar to that of the common honeysuckle, except that its flowers are red and look very beautiful after blooming. The leaves are red all year round, especially when planted with green lawns or white landscape stones, creating a striking visual contrast!

5. Red-leafed Photinia
Red-leafed Photinia first became popular in the Xiaoshan area of Zhejiang. Its characteristic is that the growing tip leaves are blood-red and bright, and it is resistant to sun, poor soil, pruning, and can withstand high and low temperatures. It can safely survive the winter outdoors from Guangzhou in the south to the three northeastern provinces. In current landscaping, red-leafed Photinia has three forms: hedges, round balls, and lollipop shapes. You just need to plant them according to your own garden landscaping situation, for example, planting the lollipop shape on both sides of the gate, spacing the round balls in the flower beds, and using hedges to "border" the garden path. Since only the new shoots are red, as long as we trim diligently after the red-leaf period is over, we can always keep the leaves in a red state.

6. Purple-leafed Dwarf Cherry
It is a leaf-viewing variety selected from the绿化 tree red-leafed plum. If you see purple-red and light red purple-leafed dwarf cherries on the market, there is no need to panic. This is due to the result of grafting with different rootstocks. Leaves grafted with mountain peach are light in color, and those grafted with mountain apricot are dark. Planting a purple-leafed dwarf cherry in the form of a lollipop tree in a well-lit, quiet corner of your home can highlight the meaning of "a touch of red in a sea of green."
