Sourberry, also known as husk tomato, is a common fruit in Northeast China. It can often be seen in the fruit market. But have you ever seen ornamental sourberries in bottles? This variety has been cultivated at Lihui Farm, a fresh-cut flower base in Chongming. As a niche flower popular in recent years, it has been deeply loved by citizens.
In a greenhouse of Lihui Farm, red sourberries were scattered like lanterns hanging on the branches, appearing particularly enthusiastic in the emerald green. Flower farmers were shuttling through the fields, busy harvesting.
In the packaging workshop, workers removed the leaves and packed the sourberries into boxes. The person in charge of the workshop introduced that the sourberry is a Solanaceae herbaceous plant. According to foreign shipping standards, a plant with more than 5 fruits on one branch is considered excellent.
It is learned that in the past, most of the imported ornamental sourberries on the market were imported, and Lihui Farm is one of the small number of ornamental sourberry planting bases in Shanghai. After trial planting in previous years, it has been mass-produced this year.
It is known that in spring and summer, most citizens prefer fresh and light-colored flowers, while dark-colored flowers are more popular after autumn. Sourberries have a long flowering period of over a month. The color of the flowers gradually changes from green to orange, a bright and eye-catching color. After natural air drying, they can stay well for appreciation for a long time. You can buy some home and display them in bottles to decorate your house for a warm and sweet atmosphere.
