Fruit trees that must be planted in April will bloom and bear fruit in summer and die at minus 50 degrees in winter!

I guess some flower lovers are not familiar with the name indigo fruit, but when it comes to eggplant and goat's milk, I think they are familiar with it. Indigo fruit has always been a berry in the mountains of the Northeast and Southwest regions, but it can now be domesticated through artificial cultivation. If you have never eaten indigo fruit, let the foodies decide the taste. When ripe, the indigo fruit turns blue-purple, has rich pulp, is sweet and sour, and has a fragrant fragrance. Just looking at it makes my mouth water because it tastes so sweet, so it's perfect for making wine. Friends in the Northeast should be familiar with it. The fruit wine made from indigo fruit is sour and sweet, with the sweetness of fruit. Really delicious. If you can't finish the indigo fruit, just dry it in the sun. When making sweet soup and fruit salad, add a few and it will turn red. It also adds flavor. Place in a blender with yogurt or milk and blend. It's a delicious fruity milkshake, much better than the 2 or 30 yuan milk tea sold outside. Add a little when making biscuits and bread to neutralize the sweetness of pastries. It’s all about appetizing and quenching your cravings. Indigo is so delicious. It is suitable for transplanting in spring and can be raised in both north and south, especially in the extremely cold areas of Northeast China. Let’s talk about flowers, how to plant the newly purchased indigo saplings! After receiving the indigo fruit seedlings, check whether there is any particularly serious damage above the seedlings, and then carefully cut off the plastic film wrapped around the pot with scissors. Some wet newspapers will be stuffed under the plastic film to moisturize and prevent it from falling apart, and then gently peeled off. This is what it looked like after it was dismantled. After demolishing, check to see if the soil is dry. If it is dry, water it and leave it in place for 2-3 days to adapt to the environment. After the seedlings are energetic, start repotting or transplanting. Indigo can be grown in pots or in the ground. It can grow naturally in the three northeastern provinces of my country, Inner Mongolia, northwest, north China, and southwest regions, and can be raised in the open field in almost all countries. In some areas of the south, temperatures are higher than 5 degrees in winter, so planting is not recommended. Wild indigo often grows in the shade of mountains and forests, so it is a shade-tolerant fruit tree and can be grown in scattered areas in the yard or on indoor windowsills. When transplanting, the bottom of the original soil lump is slightly loose, and loose and breathable leaf mold soil and sandy soil can be planted. Indigo grows fastest in spring and summer, with the flowering period from May to July and the fruiting period from August to October. Water regularly when blooming. After the flowers are gone, add some compound fertilizer to make the fruits more abundant. The greater the temperature difference between day and night, the sweeter the taste of indigo fruit. After the fruit turns blue-purple, it can be picked as soon as possible. The pulp of the indigo fruit is very thick, suitable for making wine, soaking in fruit vinegar, pickling jam, and drying into dried fruits. It is rich in vitamins and anthocyanins and has high nutritional value. After the indigo fruit sets, the leaves slowly fall off and go dormant after winter. It is said that wild indigo fruits can withstand temperatures as low as -50 degrees Celsius. Flower lovers in the Northeast, just plant whatever you like. If you are worried, put some old clothes near the roots to prevent frostbite. I tasted the taste of indigo fruit when I was a child and will never forget it. Now it can be domesticated, so flower lovers can try it more. Click on the picture below to buy 2-year-old indigo seedlings~
