Latest detailed explanation of the differences between the Green Treasure Tree and the Happiness Tree
The two plants that Shuaishuai is bringing to everyone today are both plants with very good symbolism. They are the Green Treasure Tree and the Happiness Tree. Some people may not be very familiar with these two plants, and they are easily confused in appearance, because these two plants look very similar. If you are not an old hand, it is probably hard to tell them apart, so today Shuaishuai will teach everyone a few little tips for distinguishing the two!
1. Green Treasure Tree
The Green Treasure Tree and the Happiness Tree are like relatives, belonging to the same family and genus. We also know that names are all given by people, and these are not their original names. In fact, the original name of the Green Treasure Tree is Hainan Bean Tree. Its height is between 20 and 25 m. The bark of the Green Treasure Tree is light gray. Its leaves are not very short, with a length of about 4 to 10 cm. The leaf veins are net-like. The Green Treasure Tree takes a very long time to prepare for its flowering period, generally as long as 7 to 8 years to prepare for blooming. Scary enough, right? Not only that, it also takes a very long time to bear fruit. The fruiting time is twice the flowering time, probably after about 15 years. I think older people should not grow it. It is probably a bit difficult to see the day it blooms and bears fruit.
The Green Treasure Tree very much likes to grow in a sunny environment, and its growth speed is fast, its survival ability is strong, and its regeneration ability is very strong. The flower colors include pale yellow and white-green. Most people buy the pale yellow ones. I do not know why either. I guess even if they buy it, it will be hard to see the day it blooms. Friends living in dry and cold northern areas are advised not to grow this flower, because the Green Treasure Tree is not suited to that kind of growing environment, so if it is cultivated slightly improperly, many, many problems will appear, and the survival rate is not high either, and it is very easy for it to be infected by pests and diseases.
2. Happiness Tree
The bark of the Happiness Tree is also light gray. The length of the leaves is a bit shorter than that of the Green Treasure Tree, and its height is not as tall either, only about 15 m. Its corolla has two colors. One of them is the same pale yellow as the Green Treasure Tree, and the other is pure white. In addition, its flowering period is also very long, but unlike the Green Treasure Tree, whose flowering time is counted in years, the Happiness Tree blooms for more than half of the year all year round. Its flowering period is between May and September, and October and December are when it bears fruit. It likes places with high temperatures and plenty of sunlight, and its cold resistance is very low.
The above are the differences between the Green Treasure Tree and the Happiness Tree. If you do not know much about the specific properties of these two plants, you can simply look at their appearance. First, we can start with the leaves. Through the leaves, we should be able to identify them at a glance. The leaf margins of the Happiness Tree are smooth, while the Green Treasure Tree is different, as it has serrations. If you still cannot tell them apart this way, then you can judge based on the properties of the two plants.
