Another year of spring and autumn fruit. In autumn, in addition to appreciating the red leaves, people are also a great pleasure to admire the ripe fruits and enjoy the joy of harvest.
In late autumn, Pyracantha is red, persimmons are yellow, pomegranates are ripe, and all kinds of fruits are hanging on the branches, indicating that the fruits of the year's efforts have been seen. In bonsai, fruit-watching plants are also a common material. For example, the beautiful and inedible fruit-watching trees, old crow persimmons I want to introduce today, are a frequent visitor in bonsai.
Laozi persimmon There are many fruits but not big, the fruit color is bright and the peel is bright, which is very attractive under the sun. No wonder Japan imported a large number of Laozi persimmons from my country in the 1980s and 1990s, which were used as flower arrangement materials or pruning and spriting bottles. In Lin'an City, Zhejiang Province, 4 tons of old crow persimmon seeds and 40,000 wild seedlings were exported in 1995.
Old Crow Persimmon, also known as milk persimmon and lilac persimmon, is a deciduous shrub or small tree of the genus persimmon tree family , about 3 meters high. The fruit is orange-red when ripe, with waxy and luster. It is still hung on the tree until the New Year, and the fruit viewing period is very long. Laozi persimmons are produced in Zhejiang, Jiangsu, Anhui, Jiangxi, Fujian and other provinces. It is cold-resistant, heat-resistant, drought-resistant, and has no strict requirements on soil and can grow in light saline-alkali soil. Young trees have strong germination power and lush branches and leaves. Generally, seedlings are cultivated.

In addition to bonsai, crow persimmons can also be used for garden viewing in greenery. The fruits are not edible and save a lot of care.
