The golden autumn beauty is the sweet-scented osmanthus.
Osmanthus is one of the top ten famous traditional flowers in China. It is an excellent garden tree species that is both ornamental and practical, integrating greening, beautification and fragrance. Osmanthus is a clear and powerful garden tree that can stand out from the dust and spread far and wide when concentrated. Especially in the mid-autumn season, when the osmanthus trees are in full bloom and the night is quiet, drinking wine to enjoy the osmanthus flowers will make you feel refreshed and refreshing.
Osmanthus likes warmth and has strong stress resistance. It is resistant to both high temperatures and cold. Therefore, it can survive the winter in the open field in areas south of the Qinling Mountains and Huaihe River in China. Osmanthus prefers sunlight but can also tolerate shade. Its branches and leaves grow luxuriantly and the flowers bloom densely in full sunlight, while it grows in the shade with sparse branches and leaves and few flowers.
Osmanthus fragrans is suitable for planting in a ventilated and light-transmitting place; it likes a clean and ventilated environment, but is intolerant to smoke and dust damage, and often cannot bloom after being damaged; it is afraid of flooding and water logging. If it is damaged by waterlogging, the roots will turn black. Rot, the leaves will first wither at the tip of the leaf, and then the whole leaf will turn yellow and fall off, leading to the death of the whole plant; it is not very cold-resistant, but compared with other evergreen broad-leaved tree species, it is still a relatively cold-resistant tree species. ?
