Because Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge is a relatively tall tree species, it is not recommended to plant it indoors as a potted plant, and the sunshine is particularly abundant, so you must choose a sunny place to plant it in the courtyard, preferably in a sunny environment. It is also drought-tolerant, and it needs to be watered frequently just after planting, and it is not necessary to water frequently after the lush roots grow. Xanthoceras sorbifolia Bunge is a new ornamental tree species with beautiful leaves and magnificent colors.
Official tree, leaves like Robinia pseudoacacia leaves, flowers like pears, fruits like green walnuts. It blooms and bears fruit in early May and ripens in mid-July every year. When mature, the shell is brown, and all of them are split into three petals, such as cotton peach, which contains six or nine seeds. This kind of seed is called the official fruit. It looks like a chestnut with a dark brown hard shell. If the shell is broken, you can eat it or squeeze oil.
It is extremely difficult for civil trees to propagate, cut, graft and cultivate seeds (at least not before), and occasionally it is difficult to move one or two seedlings under the tree, because this tree has only one single root and no capillary root. This is also the root of the inability of civil servants to reproduce. This official tree, called auspicious tree locally, was planted on the west side of the main hall when Wu built the ancestral temple in Qianlong period of Qing Dynasty.
Because its shell is divided into three pieces, each fruit must contain six or nine seeds, so it is called the official tree, which means the 369-year-old senior official went to court. Later generations can't remember how many civil servants there are in the Wu family, but in the past, local people always grabbed the branches of the civil servant tree and put them on the graves, hoping that future generations would become civil servants. This custom continued until the funeral reform. Now that someone in the village has passed away, their family will still put a branch of a civil servant on the coffin.
