In daily life, everyone has eaten a lot of fruits and nuts. We may know how grapes grow, and we may know what the pear tree looks like, but can you imagine how Balanmu , cassium , and blueberry grow? Let’s take a look at how they grow!
Let’s look at the fruit first. This beautiful red sea is what cranberry looks like when harvested.
Cranberry
Every year from the end of October to the beginning of November, it is the season for cranberries to harvest. Cranberries are magical fruits that grow in North American wetlands. They grow near the soil and are not easy to pick. So smart farmers take advantage of the characteristic that cranberries will float when they encounter water, fill the farmland with water, and let the cranberries float , which forms the beautiful red sea we see. Isn’t it magical?

papaya
papaya As a fruit in the southern tropical region, it requires a very strong photosynthesis to grow. In fact, the reason why it is named papaya is because it is the fruit grown from the wood . Moreover, the papaya is on the top of the tree when it bears fruit, and looks like an umbrella, dense and spectacular!

durian
Look at the strange-shaped thing hanging on this tree, can you recognize who it is at a glance? That's right, it's durian .
Durian is a pure tropical crop and can only grow and solid in high temperatures all year round. Durian is as big as a football, with rough and uneven skin. It is very surprising that many tiny branches can bear such weight.

casket nuts
Does this little tail look familiar? It's cashew.
can’t imagine it. cashews, as one of the four famous dried fruits in the world, actually grow on trees. The fruits of the cashew tree are divided into two parts, nuts and fruit pears , also known as real fruits and fake fruits. The kernels in are actually cashews we often eat and grow on the top of the fake fruit. The kernel usually has a hard shell outside, and the kernel is blue-gray. Because it looks like a chicken kidney, it is also known as chicken cashew .

Fake fruit is a fleshy fruit formed by a flower stent. It looks a bit like a pear, oval or flat diamond shape, so it is called a fruit pear. After ripening, the color is bright red or orange-yellow, and the moisture content is very sufficient. It is one of the fruits that cool and relieve heat in tropical areas.

Many people will confuse badanmu and almonds. In fact, badanmu and almonds are two different nuts. Badanmu is the kernel of almond , and almonds are the kernel of apricots. The two types of almonds and apricots are botanically different plants, .
Badanmu is a Uyghur name in Xinjiang. The Badanmu in my country is mainly in Xinjiang. It was introduced from ancient Persia and Iranian. It has been planted in Xinjiang for more than 1,000 years. The Tang Dynasty book says: "Peach originated from the Persian country, and is called the Potan tree. It is five or six feet long and four feet long. The leaves are like peaches and are wide and large. It blooms in March and is white. The flowers fall and are firm, like peaches, but the shape is biased, so it is peaches. The flesh is astringent, and the kernel is sweet and sweet. All countries in the Western Regions cherish it."

What is this? I have thorns all over my body, can I eat it? You read that right, this is the chestnut we often eat.
Chestnut has the beauty of "king of dried fruits". I can't imagine that it is actually wrapped in a layer of thorns. In fact, during the growth period, the chestnut is a small thorn ball, all of which are thorns, round, and it looks fun, but basically you can't touch it, otherwise your hands will be covered with various small thorns.
And when the chestnut is ripe, if it is not picked in time, it will open its mouth like pomegranate , leaking out the full fruit inside. Not to mention, such chestnuts are really unrecognizable, and they also give people a cute feeling.
