Introduction: The domineering name " Top Ten Credits " is often mistaken for wolfberry . Do you know the difference between them
wolfberry, this is a plant that many people know. There are also many wild people in the mountains in the countryside. In the past, rural children were disobedient, so parents would pick some branches of wolfberries in the wild and take them home, using them to scare the children. Because there are spikes on its leaves, and the parents' intimidation, children will be scared and obedient.
In recent years, the wolfberry that has been ignored has now become a "rare goods" in cities. It is not only common in parks, roadsides and communities, but some people also buy it as green plants and plant it in yards and flower pots to watch.
In fact, there is another plant in the countryside, which is often mistaken for "Glycobone", but it is another plant, it has a domineering name - ten major contributions. If you don’t recognize it and mistakenly treat it as a wolfberry, it would be a pity, because this plant is much more valuable than wolfberry. Let’s learn about it together!
What are the "Top Ten Credits"?
Listen to its name, some people will think that it is referring to an object, or a special material with a certain function, but in fact it is a plant.
The ancients were very particular about naming them, and they were all as modest as possible. However, because this plant has a wide range of uses among the people, it can be used as medicine for all plants, including leaves, roots, stems, etc., but its medicinal effect is outstanding. So the ancients gave this plant a perfect number of "ten" based on the habit of valuing good intentions, so they had the name "ten major contributions".
Top ten merits This plant belongs to the Berberaceae , which is an evergreen shrub plant. It can be specifically divided into three types: Fine Leaf Ten Merits , Broad Leaf Ten Merits and South ChinaTop ten Merits . Among them, the 10 Merits tides tides look very similar to the wolfberry, which is also often confused because of this reason. So here, let’s focus on the top ten contributions to broadleaf.
has the ten major contributions of the folk broad-leaf, also known as prickly cypress, cypress cypress , cypress cypress, cypress cypress , cypress cypress , cypress cypress, cypress cypress , cypress cypress, cypress cypress , cypress cypress cypress, cypress cypress , etc. From the perspective of plants, leaves, etc., it does look very much like a wolfberry.
This plant likes to grow under hillside forests and bushes at an altitude of 350-2000 meters, or in relatively humid places. Its plants are generally not tall, generally 1-2 meters high, but if the growth environment is suitable, the number of years of growth can grow to more than 4 meters high.
I have planted several plants in my hometown yard. Now, it has been more than ten years, and it has become a full floor, and the stems at its roots have become woody and very thick.
The leaves of this plant are alternate, with 2-8 spikes on the edges of the leaves. Unlike the leaves of other plants, the leaves of the top ten are hard and not flat. The tips of its teeth are slightly bent towards the back of the leaves, and the base is close to the heart and not equal. Generally, the front of the leaves is purple-green and shiny, while the back is yellow-green.
In August to September of summer, yellow flowers will bloom, which are raceme clusters on the top of the stems, and then oval berries will bear. They are green at the beginning, but when they mature, they will turn dark blue. There is also a layer of wax powder on the outside, which looks very much like blueberries or grapes.
The difference between wolfberry and the top ten contributions
After talking about the top ten contributions, look at the wolfberry. Although it is very similar to the top ten contributions, it is but it is an evergreen tree plant of the Holly family and Holly family, but it is usually shrub-like.
The stems of this kind of tree are basically grayish-white and relatively smooth. In ancient times, there was also ", this wood muscle is white, like the bone of a dog, ", so it was named "Galaxy Bone". It means that the stems of this kind of tree are white and look like dog bones, so it is called "Good bones".
Let’s take a look at its leaves. They are similar to the top ten contributions. The leaves are uneven and have strange growth. They have spikes on the edges of the leaves, but most of them have 3 hard thorns. The spikes in the center are curved downwards. There is 1 spike on each side of the base of . Sometimes 1 spike will appear in the middle and left. Moreover, the old leaves at the base of the wolfberry are generally round and generally have no thorns.
In addition, the color of the leaves is also different. The front of the wolfberry leaves is mainly yellow-green and shiny. The back is gray-green, and the petioles are also very short. The leaves are also single-leaf and . From this, it can be seen that it is very different from the top ten contributions.
There is another very distinctive point, that is, the flowers and fruits of wolfberry. Its flowers are umbrella inflorescences clusters growing in leaf axilla, and the flowers are white. The fruit is an oval drupe , and when it matures, it is a bright red and 4 seeds. What are the value of the top ten contributions of
?
Since it is called the top ten credits, I believe that what many people pay most attention to is what credits it has, that is, what is its value. In fact, the top ten contributions of this plant are really worth a lot, much more than those of wolfberry.

Top ten contributions are evergreen all year round, and its leaves, flowers and fruits have ornamental value, especially after their fruits mature, they will not fall for a long time, so they have become a very popular and beautiful plant in recent years.
It can not only be planted separately, but also be planted near rockery as decoration, or as hedge around the courtyard, orchard, and vegetable garden. This not only beautifies, but also has the effect of "anti-theft".
Like in the past, some people in rural areas planted around fish ponds, because it is lush and has sharp thorns, so ordinary people and animals dare not get close to it.
Conclusion
