Alpine Orchard - Chapter 443

[Chapter 444 Planting Coconuts]

Wu Qingbo noticed Ye Mo and was about to speak…

“Old Wu is a lawyer, so he still has professional ethics and can keep it secret.” Zhou Minghai said.

Li Xuebin also noticed Ye Mo’s eyes and opened his mouth.

Ye Mo smoked a cigarette and said, “If I had money, I would really like to take this piece of land. The area is large enough, and it’s all well-cultivated land. Besides, this is managed according to the standards of an ecological and organic garden, so it should be It has been managed for several years… I think the bare soil in the orchard is dark, not loess, which means that the organic matter content in the soil is relatively high. As long as this kind of soil is not messed up, no matter what you plant, you can have a better harvest I said that I am willing to pay five or six hundred million, and that is on the premise that I am not short of money…”

After Ye Mo finished speaking, he spread his hands.

Zhou Minghai rolled his eyes, what he said was as if he hadn’t said it.

Li Xuebin touched his chin: “How much is the organic matter content of the soil here?”

“2.2%.” Zhou Minghai said.

“What about the depth?” Ye Mo asked.

“The depth… I don’t know.” Li Xuebin shook his head.

“If it’s just shallow organic fertilizer content, it doesn’t have much reference value.” Ye Mo said.

Increasing the organic matter content in the soil is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it will take a long time to improve slowly.

The organic matter content of the soil here is usually less than one percent.

It usually takes at least three years to add 1% organic matter to the soil, and a large amount of organic fertilizer is required.

The orchard soil is half a meter deep, and the original organic matter content is 1%. To increase the organic matter content to 2%, more than 9 tons of organic fertilizer with an organic matter content of 50% is needed. That’s just theoretical data…

in practice, it’s not.

Among them, there is also the need to ‘raise’, to raise the soil.

Huazhishan has been fertilized with heavy fertilizers for two years, but these organic fertilizers have not yet integrated into the soil, and they need to be raised slowly later. At the same time, I dare not give more organic fertilizers.

Soil organic matter content is also an important basis for measuring the value of a piece of land.

But, this can’t support the value of 500 or 600 million.

Li Xuebin saw that Ye Mo was not going to say anything, so he didn’t ask, and said, “Do you want to invest in this land? We will let you participate in a share…”

“I don’t have any money.

” Buckle inside the fruit.” Zhou Minghai said with a smile.

Ye Mo shook his head: “I have a lot of things to do now, and I can’t keep up with it, so I don’t have any extra energy.”

Li Xuebin said: “We made a deal, sawing off the current mangoes, and grafting them into Jinhuang mangoes. If they can be planted well, Jinhuang The price of Huang Mango is still good. Then there are those coffee trees, all cut down, and it is time to plant loquats… The climate here is relatively good, and you can grow early-maturing loquats.”

“It will take a few years to harvest. Then there are coffee beans, The price has been rising in the past few years, so it would be a pity to cut it off.” Ye Mo said.

“Picking coffee beans is too troublesome.” Li Xuebin shook his head and said, “We want to take down the five ditches for the long-term. Short-term benefits don’t matter, and long-term benefits are more important.”

“Should we cut down the coffee trees? There are still differences. My idea is to keep these coffee trees and cut down the mango trees… Now the mango planting area is too large. In Huacheng, high-quality mangoes can be produced, and if the mangoes of average quality cannot be sold Let’s raise the price.”

Last year’s mango prices were very good.

But there are still many mangoes that cost just over one piece, or even seven or eight cents per catty.

Li Xuebin and Zhou Minghai are fruit sellers, and they deal with mangoes a lot, but when it comes to how to grow good mangoes… they have never actually done it.

After walking in the orchard for a long time, the group left the orchard and went to Hongge Town through another exit.

Hongge Town is quite far from the orchard. This is a well-known tourist town in the local area with beautiful scenery.

I found a restaurant and ordered a large table of delicious food.

After dinner, lawyer Wu said goodbye and left.

Zhou Minghai wanted to go back too, but Li Xuebin pulled him down and said, “Go, soak in the hot spring.”

“Is the hot spring here a natural hot spring?” Ye Mo asked.

“Radon gas mineral spring.” Li Xuebin said: “It’s good to soak for a while.”

Ye Mo and the others went to the hot spring.

The hot spring is surrounded by mountains, banana trees are shady, and there is a tropical botanical garden nearby. All kinds of tropical plants are luxuriant. Slices of mango, lychee, camellia oleifera, and pineapple constitute a subtropical scenery in southern China.

This is not the first time for Li Xuebin to come here to soak in the hot springs. He is familiar with the road, and took Ye Mo and the others to a relatively private hot spring.

The paotang is on the hillside, surrounded by dense green bushes, and the privacy is very good.

I went to the locker room to change clothes and came to the pool. It’s not as hot as expected, but the water temperature is not cold either.

“At Wutiaogou just now, because Lawyer Wu was here, you hesitated to speak…” Li Xuebin looked at Ye Mo and said, “Now we are the only ones. If we win Wutiaogou, what kind of fruit do you think would be good to plant? ”

“Coconut.” Ye Mo said.

Zhou Mingyuan frowned and said, “Although you have successfully planted coconuts in Gaoshanping, it doesn’t mean that you can grow them in other places around Huacheng…”

They also didn’t know how to manage Ye Mo’s coconut trees.

But he consulted many people, and they all said that coconuts cannot be grown here in Huacheng. Unless new cold-resistant varieties appear, otherwise, it is impossible to commercially plant coconut trees in Huacheng…

“The coconut trees on my side have cold-resistant genes.” Ye Mo said: “In addition, I bought the land in the villa. The main purpose is to test the second generation of cold-resistant coconut trees. If it succeeds, you can ask me about the Wutiaogou area. How much land am I willing to buy… Even if it is five or six hundred million, if I have the money, I will definitely take it.”

Li Xuebin, Zhou Minghai, and the driver brother all looked at Ye Mo.

Ye Mo shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said: “The origin of the first generation of cold-resistant coconut trees is a secret, I can’t tell. You can just think that I cultivated it, but now I can’t breed a generation. My high mountain The coconut trees in Ping are the first generation, if the second generation of cold-resistant coconut trees can succeed and reach the adaptability of the first generation… then it should be very good to plant coconut trees here.”

Li Xuebin and Zhou Minghai looked at each other.

None of them thought that the coconut trees on Ye Mo’s side could be planted on a large scale locally…

Hearing what Ye Mo said, it would be very tempting if they could be planted on a large scale.

“How sure are you?” Li Xuebin said.

“I haven’t started the experiment yet, but I should be 50% sure.” Ye Mo said.

“The coconut trees over there produced a lot of fruit last year. It should be a forest under Niubei Mountain. The one with the most fruit, how much does a tree bear?” Zhou Minghai said.

“The most, more than one hundred and fifty.” Ye Mo said: “The least, none… If you calculate the average, the average number of fruit in that big forest is about forty or fifty. At this level, It’s similar to the extensively managed coconut grove in Hainan. Or it’s even better… and the coconut grove on my side is not managed much except for watering during the dry season.”

40 coconuts per tree are calculated .

If 25 trees can be planted in one acre, 1000 coconuts can be produced.

8 yuan per coconut, that is 8000 yuan.

The output value per mu may not seem high, but if 9,000 mu are planted, it will be 72 million yuan.

Other fruit trees are troublesome to manage, and they need to be pruned every year. But after the coconut tree is planted, it only needs to fertilize reasonably and pay attention to the control of diseases and insect pests… It is relatively easy to manage.

The lower the labor cost, the higher the profit.

The output value of 72 million yuan, the cost… 20 million yuan should be enough. Then there is the output of coconut trees, which will increase year by year with the age of the trees.

Moreover, if coconut trees can be planted in a large area in Huacheng, tourism can also be developed.

Build a resort, a water park, in the coconut groves all over the mountains, there is a lot of atmosphere.

In the eyes of mainlanders, the coconut tree itself is a landscape. As long as a large area of coconuts is planted to form a forest, it will attract many tourists without too much publicity.

After all, who can say no to coconut groves without traveling far.
