Torreya grandis is a kind of rare tree, native to our country, but mainly in the south, and it grows in the deep mountains, with a long growth cycle. Normal growth of Torreya grandis fruit is not suitable for eating, need artificial grafting, grafting after the seedlings also need more than 10 years to bear fruit, it can be said that just planting trees is very difficult.
Torreya grandis has seven or eight years of fruit, but unlike other tree species, its fruit can be picked in that year, and its fruit growth cycle is also very long. It takes more than a year to grow from fruit to fruit. This kind of tree species blooms for a year, bears fruit for a year and matures for another year, so when the first wave of fruit is to mature, the second wave of flowers will bloom, and the second wave of fruit is just bearing, so the local people have the saying of "three generations of Torreya grandis" which means that a tree has both flowers and fruits, and the three generations of fruits are bearing on the tree at the same time, which is very amazing
It is precisely because of this characteristic of the same branch of Torreya grandis in three generations that it is particularly troublesome to pick. There are mature fruits and immature fruits on one branch, which can not be accurately identified by the machine. Therefore, it is only possible to climb the ladder manually to pick the tree, and it is immature to shake half of the tree, which can not be picked. In this way, the cost is very high
Just picked Torreya Torreya to wait until the outside skin rot after peeling, and then clean and put in a cool and ventilated place to dry, fry after drying, the process is very complex, the cost will increase.
Because of the above four reasons, Torreya grandis fruit is very rare, but it is nutritious, known as the king of dried fruit, so the price is also very high
