15 fruits we eat but don't know how they grow - Botanichka

Thanks to world trade and the rapid development of transport flows, today we can enjoy the fruits of plants that do not grow in our climatic conditions. At the same time, some of them are so fond of that they have firmly entered our daily diet. And what do we know about how these "overseas dishes" grow?

Our publication will tell you the fruits of which plants are 15 well-known products. At the same time, it should be noted that some of them, from the point of view of biology, are not considered fruits.

1. Capers

Capers

Capers, for example, are not fruits at all, but the unblown buds of the herbaceous plant Caper prickly. If they are allowed to bloom, then you can admire the white flowers of stunning beauty for a long time, and then collect the fruits. True, they are considered less tasty than buds, therefore, usually, when purchasing canned capers, we buy exactly unblown flower buds of prickly caper.

Prickly caper is an extremely hardy plant. Its roots reach groundwater, growing up to 20 meters, the length of the branches reaches 1.5 meters. He lives in nature on stones, in cracks in walls, therefore he brings significant trouble to historical architectural monuments in his homeland - in Central Asia. It is grown on an industrial scale today, mainly in the Mediterranean countries of Europe, whose cuisines are rich in dishes with capers. The original recipe for the famous Olivier salad, by the way, used capers, not pickles. It grows in the wild in the Caucasus, Crimea, Kazakhstan.

2. Figs

Figs originate from India and the Mediterranean. These fruits grow in the subtropics on trees or large shrubs, reaching a height of ten meters. Along the banks of the rivers, fig trees or fig trees (other names for figs) form impenetrable thickets. These plants are also loved by the southern slopes of the mountains, where they can grow at an altitude of up to 2000 meters above sea level.

In Russia, figs are cultivated only in the southern regions, and the main industrial plantations of fig trees are located in Turkey, Greece, Tunisia, South America, Portugal and Italy. This plant does not withstand frosts below -12 degrees Celsius. But you can grow figs successfully at home, as an ornamental crop. Tub fig trees grow no higher than 3 - 4 meters.

How to grow figs, read the article: Figs - figs.

3. Papaya

Ripe papaya fruit

Melon tree, also known as the plant on which the papaya fruit grows, is native to Central America and Mexico. Papaya absolutely does not tolerate sub-zero temperatures, even the most minimal ones, therefore it grows only in the tropics. The plant looks like a palm tree, but it is not. It is a tree reaching 15 meters in height. The diameter of the hollow inside the trunk at the base is 30 cm, and the side branches are completely absent.

Papaya leaves are formed only at the top of the trunk and can grow up to 90 cm in length. Interestingly, the plant has male and female flowers. In this case, more often flowers of only one sex grow on one tree. But during high summer temperatures, the sex of flowers can change from female to male and vice versa.

4. Brazil nut

The Brazil nut is a tree that grows in the wild forests of Brazil, but also in Peru, Colombia, Bolivia and Venezuela. This plant has two features that, like its fruits, deserve great attention. Firstly, Bertoletia (another name for it) is one of the largest plants on our planet. It reaches a height of 30-45 meters, and the diameter of the brazil nut trunk can be about two meters. Secondly, this tree is an absolute long-liver. Although it is officially believed that the bartoletia lives only half a millennium, the Brazilians claim that this tree grows and bears fruit for up to 1000 years. And they even show such specimens to tourists, although, of course, it is difficult to verify the accuracy of this information.

Another feature of the Brazil nut is that it only bears fruit in the wild. And the richest crops are harvested not in Brazil, as one might think, but in Bolivia. The fruit itself looks like a large box, reaching 15 cm in diameter and two kilograms of weight. And the so-called nuts are the grains of this fruit.

5. Pitahaya (dragon fruit)

Dragonfruit grows on a cactus. True, not quite ordinary. Pitahaya is a vine-shaped climbing cactus, successfully grown today in Central and South America, Australia and Southeast Asia. It is interesting that these cacti are very prolific - about thirty tons of crop can be obtained from one hectare of plantations per year. Pitahaya bears fruit up to six times a year!

Another feature of the plant that gives us these sweet fruits with incredibly tender creamy pulp is that it blooms only at night. Large white flowers have a very pleasant persistent smell.

6. Wasabi

Wasabi paste and eutrema japonica root.

Eutrema japonica is a perennial herbaceous plant, from the rhizome of which the world-famous spice for Japanese cuisine, wasabi, grows up to half a meter tall. It is noteworthy that the rhizome itself grows very slowly, at most, gaining a length of 3 cm per year. It is customary to consider the root as mature only in the 3rd - 4th year. Wasabi is popularly called Japanese horseradish, although this plant has little in common with horseradish - only belonging to the same family.

Another peculiarity of wasabi is that the rhizome has different sharpness in different parts. But this is a feature of only real wasabi - a plant that grows exclusively in the flowing waters of mountain streams. A vegetable grown in a garden does not have even a tenth of the beneficial properties that “honwasabi” (as the Japanese call real wasabi) has, however, such garden wasabi costs much less.

How to grow Japanese eutherma - wasabi, read the article: Japanese eutherma - "Japanese horseradish" wasabi.

7. Turmeric

Turmeric root and dried powder

Turmeric, a perennial plant from the ginger family, can reach a height of up to one meter. On an industrial scale, it is now grown in Japan and China, India and Indonesia. In these parts, turmeric is considered the most popular seasoning.

Turmeric plant (Curcuma)

For the preparation of spices, only the rhizome of Indian saffron (the second name of the plant) is used, but the plant itself is quite decorative. Small flowers are combined into large (up to 20 cm in length) inflorescences and boast very beautiful bracts. One turmeric bush (long leaves grow straight from the soil) can have several of these inflorescences. At the same time, the flowering of turmeric is very long - up to three months. Therefore, today this plant is gaining popularity in home floriculture.

To learn how to grow turmeric, read the article: Daring forms of room turmeric.

8. Clove

Clove is a spice.

The world famous clove spice is the unopened flower buds of a large evergreen tree (up to 20 meters high), which grows mainly on the islands of Pemba and Madagascar. A third of the world's supply of cloves comes from there.

Buds (flower buds) of clove (Syzygium aromaticum)

Carnation blooms and, accordingly, “fruits with buds” twice a year. The assembly process is simple, so this spice is relatively inexpensive. In greenhouse conditions, cloves are also grown, but this is a rather troublesome process. However, as well as caring for any exotic house plants.

9. Avocado

Avocado fruit

Avocado is a drupe berry in terms of biology. It grows on an evergreen tropical tree with a wide crown and a height of up to 15 meters. Most growers regularly trim avocado trees to about 5 meters to make harvesting easier.

Avocados are unique in that they never fully ripen on the tree. After picking the fruits, at least 1-2 weeks pass, during which they reach the desired condition at room temperature. Therefore, if you bought an unripe avocado, this is normal. Just put it in a dark locker for a few days.

How to grow avocados, read the article: Secrets of growing avocados at home.

10. Black pepper

The most common spice on planet Earth is black pepper. These are the fruits of a perennial evergreen tree vine of the pepper family.

Malabar berry (also known as black pepper) grows in tropical forests, wrapping around trees and reaching 15 meters in length. On an industrial scale, black pepper is grown on special trellises or supports.

At the beginning of ripening, the fruits of the plant have a green color, darkening with time and acquiring a more intense aroma. If the pepper berries are overripe, the peel is removed from them, leaving only the white core. Such black pepper is called commercially "white". Its taste is not so sharp, but the smell is more intense.

How to grow black pepper, read the article: Black pepper, or "Malabar berry".

11. Quinoa

Quinoa Seeds

The quinoa plant looks like tall grass. It grows up to four meters, has a rigid branching stem, large round leaves and large inflorescences. Biologists classify the culture as pseudocereal, due to the absence of a hard shell on the fruit. Hundreds of varieties of quinoa are known today, but only three are commercially grown.

Quinoa plantation. © Michael Hermann

Quinoa has been proven to be a staple of the ancient Indian diet. "Golden grain", as the Incas called it, who considered these fruits as important a product as potatoes and corn. At the beginning of the 21st century, quinoa became popular all over the world thanks to the adherents of healthy eating. However, this product must be introduced into your diet very carefully: it is a strong allergen.

To learn how to grow quinoa, read the article: Quinoa is a diet crop in your garden.

12. Vanilla

Vanilla powder and pods. © lafaza

Real vanilla has little in common with vanilla or vanilla sugar, which we buy in supermarkets for baking. It is obscenely expensive, because its cultivation is very difficult, and the yields are meager - a maximum of two centners per hectare. Vanillin is a product of the chemical industry, and vanilla is the dried and powdered fruits of a perennial liana of the orchid family.

Vanilla orchid: flower, green and dried pods. © Aveter

This plant, twisting around a tree, climbs to a height of up to 15 meters. The vanilla stem is very thin and the leaves are fleshy and flat, long and oval. They grow directly from the stem, which does not branch. Vanilla flowers bloom no more than one day. After fertilization, the ovary is found only on the 7th - 9th month! Vanilla fruit is a narrow oblong cylinder about 25 cm long and one and a half cm wide with small seeds inside. Difficulties with the cultivation of vanilla are associated, first of all, with the problems of its pollination. Oddly enough, but in the wild, only one species of hummingbird and bees of the same genus, which live only in Mexico, can pollinate it. Commercially, vanilla is pollinated by hand. To do this, use a special brush. This is a very lengthy and not always effective process. Only half of the flowers pollinated artificially produce an ovary.

13. Ginger

Ginger root

Ginger, a perennial herbaceous plant with long narrow leaves and a valuable rhizome, is now rarely found in the wild. What we eat is a crop grown mainly on plantations in India and Southeast Asia. Ginger flowers are slightly reminiscent of the well-known irises.

Interestingly, in the Middle Ages, ginger was brought to Europe, where it became famous as the most effective prophylactic against the plague. Its price was simply fabulous. In cooking, ginger began to be used much later than in medicine.

To learn how to grow ginger, read the article: Ginger is a seasoning and medicine. Growing methods.

14. Pistachios

Pistachios

We are accustomed to consider pistachios as nuts, although the science of Botany claims that these are the seeds of a fruit - a drupe. They grow on small trees, often called shrubs, with a dense crown. The pistachio tree blooms in April, the fruits ripen by September-November, depending on the variety and region of growth.

Plantation of real pistachio or pistachio tree (Pistacia vera)

In the wild, pistachios grow almost everywhere in Asia, in areas of North-West Africa. The nature of Syria, Mesopotamia, Iran and Central America is rich in pistachios. This plant is cultivated in southern Europe.

Pistachio trees are long-lived. It is believed that in favorable conditions they live for at least 400 years.

Read more about how pistachios grow in the article: How do pistachios grow?

15.

Cinnamon Cinnamon stick and cinnamon powder

The spice cinnamon is not a fruit, but the dried inner part of the bark of the Ceylon cinnamon tree, which belongs to the laurel family and the cinnamon genus. Cultural plantings of cinnamon look like shrub plantations. Twice a year, bark is removed from young shoots of plantings. This is a very troublesome business. Firstly, you need to wait until the end of the rainy season, then it is not so difficult to remove the bark and its smell is the most intense. Secondly, it must be removed in strips with the exact parameters of length and width - 30 cm and 1-2 cm, respectively.

Sri Lanka is considered the birthplace of cinnamon, but today it is grown everywhere in India, Brazil and the countries of Southeast Asia. The best varieties of Ceylon cinnamon are those that have a paper-thin bark.

names, photos, types and cultivation

A well-maintained orchard is the pride of any gardener. Everyone grows trees in his garden according to his own taste and the climate of the area. However, thanks to the achievements of breeders, today it has become possible to grow fruit crops in the north, which have always been considered southern, so the border between heat-loving and frost-resistant crops has become less clear. Moreover, from seedlings of new varieties, the harvest can be obtained not in five to seven years, as before, but already in the second or third year.

What fruit trees usually grow in our gardens? Apple trees, pears, apricots, cherries, plums and cherries. In southern climates, peach, mulberry, pomegranate and fig can be grown. Many of these crops are not only tasty, but also have medicinal properties. Exotic fruit trees - date, coffee tree, kumquat, avocado, feijoa, lemon, cocoa - can be grown from seeds in a greenhouse or on a windowsill.

Trees consist of a root system, stem, central conductor and lateral (skeletal, semi-skeletal, overgrowing) branches. Two types of buds are formed on the branches: growth, or vegetative, and flower, or generative. Generative buds are larger than growth buds and have a more rounded shape. From them, flowers develop first, and then fruits. The fruits of trees are fruits, berries and nuts.

Summer is the time for berries, and in our gardens, crops known and loved by us for a long time ripen - raspberries, strawberries, cherries, currants, gooseberries ... However, recently they began to acquire popularity and not so common in gardening berry plants - shadberry, lingonberry, bird cherry, honeysuckle. They are healthy and tasty, and their taste has not yet had time to become boring.

Common apricot (lat. Prunus armeniaca) is a species of fruit tree of the Plum genus of the Pink family. Scientists still do not know exactly where the apricot came from. Some believe that from the Tien Shan region in China, others are sure that Armenia is the birthplace of the plant. In any case, the apricot came to Europe from Armenia: there is a version that Alexander the Great brought it to Greece, and from there the tree came to Italy, but there is no documentary evidence for this.

Friends, today I will tell you in detail, step by step, how I do vaccinations using the “under the bark” method. I will graft on an apple tree. An early variety should be grafted onto an early variety, a late variety should be grafted onto a late one. This is one of the most important conditions for creating a transforming tree, on which, for example, red, green and yellow apples can grow.

Today I want to talk about my experiment to combat frost in the spring. Four years in a row in May we have frosts down to -2 ⁰C, and we have to take measures: cover the plants at night or use other methods of protection. We incur losses, in addition, such tricks of the weather are very demotivating. Of course, most modern grape varieties are capable of producing crops from replacement buds, but it is far from the one we are used to. After a lot of thinking about how to fix the situation, we became...

The name "cherry" is consonant with the German Weichsel (cherry) and the Latin viscum (bird glue), based on which the meaning of the word "cherry" can be perceived as "bird cherries with sticky juice. " The ancient Romans called these fruits "cerasi" after the city of Kerasunda, which became famous for its delicious sweet cherries, or "bird cherries". From the Latin word cerasi comes the Italian, French, German and English name for cherries.

Hello everyone! I offer you a concise, but rather detailed story on how to grow peaches the right way. When choosing a seedling, it is better to give preference to a variety zoned for your area, so that the fruits over the summer have time to fill up to the varietal size and ripen. If you want a tree to last 30-40 years, grow it from a stone.
