Eva gave him the sapling and introduced: "This is a sapling of Eucalyptus almond. Well, it is not a very precious tree, but it is very suitable to accompany the growth of a town because it has a long lifespan."
After knowing the name, Wang Bo understood the identity of the tree. When he planned to plant trees on both sides of the road some time ago, he read information on most trees suitable for planting in New Zealand.
Eucalyptus amygdala is a long-lived giant tree that is native to the grasslands of Australia. It can generally grow to more than 100 meters. The tallest tree is 156 meters tall, which is taller than General Sherman, the tallest giant sequoia in the Americas. The tree is also 14 meters tall, equivalent to the height of a 50-story building!
This tree is called Tutu Tamu by the Maori people, which translates to "the tallest tower in the world of trees."
In addition to its amazing height, another weird thing about it is that the almond eucalyptus trees can grow extremely tall, but there is almost no shadow under the trees. This is because its leaves are slender and curved, with their sides facing upward. The leaves are parallel to the direction of the sunlight, just like hanging on a tree branch. The sunlight can pour through the gaps in the leaves without blocking the light.
Wang Bo took the sapling and said happily: "Thank you very much for your kindness, Eva, you are so considerate. I will plant this tree at the intersection of Highway 8 entering the town. I believe it will become a landmark in the future. Tree."
Almond eucalyptus grows very fast. Even though it is just such an inconspicuous small tree now, as long as the living environment is suitable, it can grow into a large tree more than ten meters high within four or five years, and then start to reverse its growth even faster. Long journey.
Eva smiled and said: "I thought you would plant it on the wetland beside the lake. It can repel mosquitoes, you know?"
Wang Bo did know that when he learned about eucalyptus almond, the first introduction he saw was that the root system of this tree is thirty meters long, the roots are deep and wide, and it absorbs a lot of water. It has a "** water pump" "The nickname.
What Eva said is actually not quite right. It cannot repel mosquitoes, but it can prevent mosquitoes from breeding.
Mosquitoes mostly lay eggs in swamps and stagnant pools filled with sewage. Eucalyptus almond has strong water absorption capacity. Planting in this environment can absorb a large amount of surrounding water. In this way, without sewage, there will be no mosquitoes.
It absorbs a lot of water and evaporates a lot of water. It is said that this tree can evaporate 175 tons of water every year after it reaches adulthood, which is amazing.
At the beginning, Wang Bo wanted to plant eucalyptus almond. He wanted to plant a jungle of giant trees, which would beautify the environment and generate economic benefits.
You must know that the wood of almond eucalyptus is an excellent material for making boats, cars, and electric poles. The wires currently erected in Sunset Town are not cement telephone poles, but charred almond eucalyptus tree trunks.
In addition, valuable tannins or gums are extracted from the trees. Its leaves have a special fragrance and can be used to refine eucalyptus oil. One of the main raw materials of eucalyptus sugar is eucalyptus oil, which has a cooling and cough-relieving effect.
However, after learning more about it later, I learned that eucalyptus almond is not suitable for large-scale planting around farms and pastures because its water absorption capacity is too strong, which will cause serious damage to groundwater resources and compete with crops and pasture for water.
However, it is okay to plant a small amount. It would be more suitable if it was planted at the entrance of the town's road. Once it grows to more than a hundred meters, it can indeed become a landmark plant of Sunset Town.
After getting the almond eucalyptus, Wang Bo stopped going to work and went to the soldier uncle Benjamin to borrow a military shovel, and happily took Eva and Daier to plant trees.
Benjamin's son, the soldier brother Gerald, raised two pit bulls. The two little guys looked fierce, and they would attack Lao Wang when they saw him coming in.
As a result, they barked twice, and the strong man rushed over after hearing the news. He didn't need to speak, but just glared at the two pit bulls, who immediately shut their mouths in fear.
Pitbulls are specialized as fighting dogs. They are very ferocious dogs and are not allowed to be kept in New Zealand cities. But facing a strong man who was several weights larger than them, the two guys didn't have the slightest temper.
They were abused by strong men. The strong men followed Lao Wang to work and wandered around the town when they had nothing to do. All the dogs raised by the townspeople were taken care of by it.
Wang Bo chose the place to plant the tree at the east entrance of Highway 8 into the town, which is the direction from Aocheng into the town.
It is more than 30 kilometers away from the town center and is surrounded by vast flat grasslands. A large tree more than 100 meters high rising from the flat ground is even more shocking.
A tree was planted, and a fat rabbit ran out of the bushes. The strong man turned around and chased after him. After running a few steps, he jumped up, opened his mouth to catch the rabbit, and then ran away with the fart in his mouth. return.
Eva patted its head and smiled: "Wow, Strong Man is such a capable child."
Wang Bo invited Eva and Daier to have coffee and dessert in the dessert shop. Harris Bohn, the former owner of the m151e2 Jeep, came to the town some time ago and rented a small building with a friend. The first floor was a dessert shop. The second floor is a coffee shop.
Seeing this, Eva said: "If you want to eat some desserts, there is no need to spend money here. Go to my house. I think the desserts I make are pretty good."
After hearing this, the little Loli nodded her head: "Yeah, yeah, my sister's cooking is very, very, very bad, but her desserts are very, very, very good!"
Wang Bo doesn't pursue the taste of desserts. He doesn't usually eat snacks - desserts are a type of meal for New Zealanders, and they are just snacks for him.
However, it felt good to be a guest in Eva's new home, so he readily agreed.
Harris, who was entertaining customers, saw them. He waved and asked: "Mayor, do you want to come and try my cooking? I heard that you are a good cook, but you must not be able to make desserts like mine."
Wang Bo smiled and said: "Of course, I admit this, but I'm not here to eat. Well, I just drove by here to say hello to you, bye!"
The jeep left in a flash, and Harris was smug at the back: He seemed to have a good status in the town, and the mayor came specially to say hello to him.
Eva moved into a residential area of the town, which was still a building block house. It was located at the east end of the first row, far away from China Road. It was quiet and peaceful.
When passing by the convenience store, Wang Bo asked if he wanted to buy some condiments. Eva shook her head and said that she often made desserts, so she had enough utensils and ingredients at home.
After getting out of the car, Eva asked Wang Bo to sit in the living room and watch TV, while she went to the kitchen and started preparing desserts.
How could Lao Wang be interested in watching TV while sitting on the sofa? Looking at the beautiful teacher busy in the kitchen, my heart is very throbbing: She can go to the hall and go to the kitchen, she is a good wife and mother! (.)
