Ishikawa, located in the northeast of Gaolan County, Lanzhou City, 20 kilometers away from Lanzhou City, is famous for its rich Dongguo pear and Ruaner pear in history.
The reporter saw that nearly 10,000 ancient pear trees are embedded in the pear garden of10.2 million mu like living fossils of plants, with different shapes. According to historical records, these ancient pear trees originated in the late Ming Dynasty, nearly 400 years ago. Why can these pear trees grow for more than 300 years without withering? According to the person in charge of Gaolan County Forestry Bureau, this is mainly due to the Qingfeng Mountain in the north and south mountains, the moisture of the Yellow River separated by a dike, and the meticulous care of generations of Ishikawa people.
Being in the ancient trunk and charming ancient pear garden is like walking into a herbarium!
Although some ancient trees in the garden have been split in two by ruthless lightning, they have remained vibrant for hundreds of years; Some trees seem to have withered, leaving only half a bark, but it is this half bark that has firmly supported the crown for 200 to 300 years, truly fulfilling the old saying that "people live by their faces and trees by their skins"; Other trees seem to have completely dried up, but they are struggling to regenerate next to the dead stumps, which makes people feel that these plants without spirituality have the idea of continuing their lives and carrying on the family line. Especially, the 400-year-old married couple who were named "King of Trees" and "Queen of Trees" by Ishikawa people, but their fertility is still amazing: they produce more than 2,000 kilograms of fruit every year! A botanist from Japan was amazed and took out 10 thousand yuan to buy a dead pear tree and transport it back to Tokyo. Simple and honest Ishikawa people understand that the scientific research value and ornamental value of ancient pear trees are a fortune in themselves! Since then, Ishikawa has become lively.
