Red dates have been planted in china for at least 3,000 years. The earliest description of the dates should appear in the psalms, which records “august, october, date peeling”。The datesIt means "premature birth". In the past, almost all households in rural areas of the north, particularly in shandong, had dates and wheat fields were full of dates. With the changing times and natural environment, these “trees” are becoming fewer and fewerThe datesTrees have been planted in villages. Why aren't these dates popular
The dates
1. Early years, lack of material, date is a good fruit
In the past, rural families were poor, growing date trees, apple trees and pomegranate trees in the yard, and eating fruit in the summer. Now i have money, i can buy lots of fresh fruit in winter. In the past, wheat and rice harvested in rural areas had been piled up in wheat fields, with the exception of fields, where everyone worked, especially the elderly, who looked after date trees to prevent destruction by their children. There are no old people looking at dates and no children stealing dates。
The dates
The dates of the “trees” are not as good as the dates, nor are the new seedlings
Since the 1980s, date palms have entered people's view. Compared to traditional dates, the dates are large, thin, small and nutritious. In addition, the fruit tree results very quickly, and the tree seedlings that are married can be found in about three years. As a result, there is a greater tendency to plant date palms, and the native trees in the former yard are naturally abandoned by the owners。
Trees are slow to grow and difficult to produce
The date trees are very slow to grow, and friends living in rural areas may find the date trees sprout late and leave early. It takes 30 to 40 years for a big bowl to grow. When i was a kid, seo-man stole the tree. This year, i went to pick the date tree and found it still thick, but only some dead branches. As a result, the economy of dates is much worse than that of other trees。
4. Trees are difficult to become wood and are rarely used
Three uses are common in date-palm villages. The first is slingshot frames, the second is sickle handles and the third is date-wood mazza furniture, which is now difficult to buy on the market. The slingshot and sickle are obsolete objects, and maza is loved by the north and even the shandong. People living in the city are not well placed to house a few maza children. So dates are awkward. Trees give the impression that if you don't succeed, your success is valuable
The application of dates
Is that true? Trees, also known as violets. The datewood is one of the very good wood, which is hard, dense, textual, non-transformable, stable and suitable for carving. When made, it's worth collecting. However, it is difficult to become wood and can break easily if dry in the shade。
5 the culture of date-palms has largely developed
For example, there are many date-trees in the fields, the hills, contaminated, hebei and henan. These areas are specialized in the planting of date trees, which account for more than 80 per cent of the country's fruit production. Ordinary people eat dates and go to the market and buy a few pounds. Better plant a pomegranate, a tomato or a grape in your own yard。
Spicy
In addition, there is an insect on the date tree called the “tree chords”, which stings and causes great pain when it falls on people。
In sum, many rural areas have changed over the past 30 years, and many “native dates” have made it difficult for new seedlings to grow into wood, except for the old ones. Unlike palm-trees, such as dates, it can produce results within three to four years. Dear friends, who else has our country's “native date trees”
