"Hey, little brother, is this leaf blight disease difficult to cure?"

The old man looked at Xu Weiguo's depressed look and asked with a smile.

Xu Weiguo rolled his eyes at the old man and said, "Uncle, if I really cure you, you have to sell me the coffee tree."

As if to convince Xu Weiguo, the old man patted his chest and said, "Absolutely, if you go out and ask around, I, Zhou Renmei, will definitely be a man of my word!"

Xu Weiguo looked at the old man, nodded, and then said: "The cause of this leaf blight disease is actually simple. There are several main points. First, the garden is not cleaned thoroughly: the bacteria overwinter on the dead branches, and the bacteria will survive the next spring.

Spread by wind, insects and rain. The second management is not in place: first, insufficient water and fertilizer

, weakening the tree; the third is soil compaction, poor root development, and reduced absorption function; the fourth is mechanical wounds caused by careless operation during the management process, which is conducive to the invasion of pathogens; the fifth is late frost damage. Sixth, shade in the garden

, poor ventilation and light transmission, and the branches grow tender and weak."

"Judging from the situation of your red sandalwood, it should be the first, third and fourth points. The most important thing is the mechanical damage caused to the red sandalwood tree!"

The old man nodded repeatedly, "Little brother...oh no...little master, what you said is all right. I just saw that there were too many red sandalwood branches, so I wanted to prune them, but I didn't expect that it would cause such a big damage."

It seems that this tree cannot be touched in the future."

Xu Weiguo said angrily: "It's not that you can't prune, but you have to pay attention to the time and method!"

"Tree pruning is mainly carried out during its growth period and dormancy period, generally in spring and winter. Pruning during the growth period should not be too heavy, otherwise all the nutrients of the tree will be used for growth and recovery, affecting its flowering and fruiting. Pruning during the dormant period

It can be heavier, which can reduce nutrient consumption and is more conducive to winter. Do not water after pruning to avoid causing the wound to rot."

"Tree pruning can greatly improve the artistic effect, increase the transparency of the tree, meet the plant's demand for light, and is conducive to branch growth, flower bud differentiation and fruit development. Through pruning, the excessive growth of the plant can be controlled and the tree vigor can be balanced.

, pruning senescent trees can achieve the effect of renewal and rejuvenation, allowing the plants to regain their strong vitality.

Tree pruning is mainly carried out during its growth period and dormancy period, usually in spring and winter. Pruning during the growth period should not be too heavy, otherwise all the nutrients of the tree will be used for growth and recovery, affecting its flowering and fruiting. However, pruning during the dormant period can

Heavier, this can reduce nutrient consumption and be more conducive to winter."

"Trees need to be pruned twice, usually once in spring and autumn each year. If they appear to be too long after pruning in spring, they should be pruned again.

Tree pruning and propagation are generally best in spring, in March in the south and in May in the northeast, because this period is the climate for all things to recover, and it is also the land's anti-slurry period. Plants will receive sufficient nutrients, and they will live and grow quickly.

."

"If trees grow lushly, densely, and have many leggy branches and leaves, they need to be pruned in time. If the trees are not growing well, they can be pruned less or not at all. During the growth period, diseased branches, thin branches, dense branches, leggy branches, and cross branches will appear.

, all need to be pruned in time to promote the growth of strong branches."

"When the tree is weak, it is necessary to leave full and strong buds. After each pruning, you need to pay attention to the direction of the cutting buds. You must consider the distribution of the crown branches of the tree. Don't leave them after each pruning.

Water the wound to prevent it from rotting."

After listening to Xu Weiguo's words, the old man named Zhou Renmei kept nodding, "I remember everything you said, little master. I really didn't expect that there are so many things to pay attention to just pruning branches! I learned it, I learned it.

!"

Xu Weiguo was quite helpless, "Uncle, these are the basic knowledge of planting flowers, plants and trees. You don't even know these, but you can plant so many camellia trees and survive so many. It's not easy!"

[Recommended, the Huanyuan app is really useful for chasing books. Download huanyuanapp here. You can try it soon.]

I thought silently in my heart, after all, it was the camellia trees that bore everything!

Hearing this, old man Zhou Renmei was also quite embarrassed, "Actually, I moved in these flowers, plants and trees. As long as they don't die, I basically won't touch them..."

Xu Weiguo suddenly realized!

"Little master, you'd better hurry up and tell me how to save my red sandalwood tree!"

Xu Weiguo: "Isn't this what you asked me? Okay, I'll continue!"

"In addition to knowing the cause of this leaf blight disease, we also need to know the transmission route. For example, the bacteria can overwinter on diseased trees and invade through flower pots, natural holes or wounds in the following spring. Another example is that it spreads in orchards. The bacteria can take advantage of wind and rain, and insects such as bees

, scale insects, aphids, birds and pruning tools, etc., and finally long-distance spread, mainly the transfer of susceptible host materials, including seedlings, scions, rootstocks, fruits, contaminated transportation vehicles and migratory birds, etc."

"On weekdays, you should also pay special attention to these. Only by blocking the transmission route in time can you better control it. What you encountered this time was just leaf blight. If you encounter some more severe diseases, I am afraid it will be in your yard.

All the flowers, plants and trees will be destroyed! I’m not trying to scare you!"

"As for the solution to the problem, we need to prepare some special potions, and then spray them once every half a month to eradicate the overwintering fungus of dry blight."

Zhou Renmei said hurriedly: "Then give me the formula of the potion quickly!"

Xu Weiguo shook his head, "How could the formula of the potion be given to others so easily? This is passed down from my ancestors."

This week, the old man Renmei quit, "You won't give me the formula, how can I trust you? What if you take my coffee tree and run away, where should I go to find someone?"

Xu Weiguo thought for a while and then said: "It's simple. I happened to have some potion with me today. You can sprinkle this potion on the rosewood and see if it has any effect!"

As he spoke, Xu Weiguo took out a bottle of water and handed it to Zhou Renmei.

After old man Zhou Renmei took the thing, he looked at it carefully, then opened the bottle cap and smelled it, "Why is it tasteless?"

"And is this potion poured directly on the tree?"

Xu Weiguo nodded, "Odorless means it's safe. Just pour it down at the root of the tree!"

Although Zhou Renmei looked confused, she still fell under the tree, "When will this be effective?"

"Soon!"

Xu Weiguo said quite confidently.

This water is not ordinary water, but the spiritual spring he got from the mysterious farm.

Sure enough, as the spiritual spring fell, all the dead leaves on the rosewood fell off, and small leaves grew in their place.

This scene shocked Zhou Renmei, "This...this..."

Xu Weiguo smiled and said, "Uncle, you see I'm not lying to you. This potion is effective. Now all the dead leaves have fallen off. As long as you use a bottle of this potion on the red sandalwood every half month, I guarantee that your red sandalwood will

It will get better and better!"

Zhou Renmei rubbed his eyes to make sure he was not dazzled. Although he was extremely shocked, the fact was before his eyes and he could not admit it.

"Little master, you are still smart!"

"You're welcome, sir, can I sell the coffee tree now? I still have to rush back to cook for my family?"

Xu Weiguo has spent half an hour with the old man. Usually at this time, he would have already arrived home and started cooking.

Zhou Renmei looked at the rosewood, then at Xu Weiguo and finally nodded, "Little master, I will believe you just once! That coffee tree belongs to you. I know you won't take it for free, so just give me a dime."

Give it a try!"

Xu Weiguo smiled and nodded, "Uncle, this is fifty cents. Please keep it. This coffee tree is worth fifty cents. I can't take advantage of you!"

After giving the money, Xu Weiguo picked up the coffee tree and planned to leave.

However....

Zhou Renmei stopped Xu Weiguo again.

"Um...Uncle, do you have anything else to do?"

Xu Weiguo is quite a scoundrel. This old man cheated on him today!

"Little Master, I still don't know your name? I can't always call you Little Master, right?" Old man Zhou Renmei said with a smile.

"Uncle, my name is Xu Weiguo, and I live in the family courtyard of the steel rolling mill! If you need anything, you can come to me!" Xu Weiguo said simply.

Old man Zhou Renmei nodded, "It turns out to be Master Xiao Xu!"

"Thank you so much for what happened today, but... I have one more thing to ask you for help with!"

Xu Weiguo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, the old man didn't take the coffee tree back, otherwise he would have really gone berserk.

"Uncle, you said, as long as I can do it, I will try my best to help you!"

"Really?!" Zhou Renmei said with some joy.

"Of course it's true, but if there's something I can't do, or if your request is too excessive, then there's nothing I can do!" Xu Weiguo said with a smile.

"No, no!" Old man Zhou Renmei shook his head repeatedly, "Actually, I miss you so much. You see how good you are at growing tea trees, so I just want to ask you to be my gardening teacher and help me take care of them.

Flowers, plants and trees, but also taught me some maintenance knowledge!"

"You don't have to worry about money. If you come here once a week, I will give you one hundred yuan!!"

Hearing this, Xu Weiguo was in a daze.

When Zhou Renmei saw that Xu Weiguo was silent, she thought Xu Weiguo disagreed, so she quickly said: "You think the price is too low, I will give you two hundred yuan for this one time!"

Xu Weiguo shook his head quickly, "Uncle, it's not about money, it's about becoming a gardener. There are a lot of things you need to learn. I'm afraid I don't have the patience. If I agree to be your gardening teacher, I will naturally have to teach you

To teach a good gardener, if I can’t keep learning, then I still don’t teach well!”

"As for your yard, if I have time, I will come over and take a look. If you have any questions, you can also come to see me at home."

Xu Weiguo's words gave Zhou Renmei a competitive spirit, and she immediately said: "Don't think I'm old, but I have a strong willpower. Over the years, I have insisted on two things, one is planting flowers and trees, and the other is exercising. You

Look at the green garden, look at my body, except for the white hair, you wouldn’t think I’m a seventy-year-old man!”

"So, I am determined to be your teacher!"
