 一株植物,一个故事: Árvoredarodadefogo

大约30年前的一个9月,在巴雷罗斯体育场附近的一个小花园里,我看到一棵树,树上有大片的绿叶和巨大的红花。

我以前从未见过这样的树,由于我无法识别它,我开始把它称为Marítimo树,因为在那个周日的下午,它展示了我最喜欢的俱乐部的颜色。

直到我知道那位自然美女的真实姓名,她第一眼就征服了我,我才罢休。

我给花园的主人Günther Maul博士打了电话,他好心地告诉我这是一棵火树,并邀请我去他家更仔细地观察它。

我没有浪费太多的时间,在接下来的星期六下午,我在那和这位杰出的德国生物学家聊天,他在1940年至1981年期间担任丰沙尔市立博物馆馆长,他的妻子在那个充满异国植物珍品的角落里,由这对热爱自然的夫妇栽种和照料着。

1990年,我得到了一打装在重复使用的酸奶容器中的小植物,我在阳台上精心照料它们。

1998年,在大约两米高的地方,它们被种植在阿里亚加大道、金门咖啡馆旁边、科伦坡广场和丰沙尔的各个花园里。

今年秋天,它们一直很美丽。 由于它们的尺寸、不具侵略性的根系和精致美丽的花朵,火树银花是街道或空间小的花园的绝佳选择。

尺寸

火棘树,属于山龙眼科,是澳大利亚东海岸潮湿的热带森林的特有树种,在那里它的高度通常达到30米。

它喜欢阳光充足的环境,夏季需要浇水。

花卉

红色的小孔排列成炫目的伞状,让人联想到自行车车轮的辐条或燃放烟花的车轮。

在丰沙尔,它在7月下旬开始开花,并将花期保持到12月,但花期高峰出现在9月。

水果

果实呈小独木舟形状,是开裂的。

成熟后,它们会打开,释放出种子,这些种子在马德拉岛南岸花园的微酸性土壤中很容易发芽。
