Aucklandia is a vertical greening tree species widely used in garden scaffolding, flower hedges and sloping walls. In late spring and early summer, bloom is constantly changing, with white flowers like fragrant snow, yellow flowers covered with brocade and fragrant flowers.
In the north, potted plants are often woven into a beat shape.
Aucklandia is an evergreen climbing shrub with no special climbing organs.
The main vine can reach 10 meter.
The branches are slender and green, smooth and less prickly.
Odd pinnate compound leaves, 3-5 leaflets, 7 rare leaflets, serrated leaf margin, 2-6 cm long, oval, dark green, shiny, stipules strip.
The flowers are white, about 2.5 cm in diameter, the sepals are entire, the pedicels are slender, and 3 ~ 15 flowers are arranged in an umbrella shape, which is fragrant. The flowering period is from April to May.
The fruit is spherical and red when ripe, and the fruit period is 9 ~ 10 month.
Its varieties and varieties are: double petals of Aquilaria sinensis, white flowers, double petals, strong fragrance, often 3 leaflets, long cultivation time, the most widely used; Double-petalled aucklandia, with light yellow flowers, double petals, fragrant, often 5 leaflets, less cultivated; Single-petalled aucklandia root, yellow flower, single petal, rare.
Woodiness is fond of light, but slightly resistant to shade.
Cold tolerance is not strong, not high temperature, Beijing needs to choose leeward and sunny places to plant.
The requirements for soil are not strict, and it can grow in slightly acidic and neutral soil, but it grows well in sandy loam with good drainage.
Avoid damp water accumulation, and low water accumulation will not grow well.
Strong tiller.
As a trellis plant, Aucklandia has a long history because of its loose posture and strong budding and branching ability.
The branches themselves have no winding ability and air roots, so more artificial auxiliary measures should be added to make the branches fully spread on the roof.
Aucklandia can also be used for hanging, and it is very spectacular when it blooms.
When transplanting, prune the branches vigorously, leaving only 3 ~ 4 main vines, and induce directional climbing.
Summer and autumn are distinguished by terminal buds and nearby axillary buds. Therefore, after the flowers wither in summer, the residual flowers and over-dense new shoots should be cut off to make them ventilated and light-permeable, so as to facilitate the differentiation of flower buds.
The branches of Radix Aucklandiae are many and long, which are easy to blossom and simple to maintain and trim.
Maintenance and pruning can be carried out in winter, mainly to sort out miscellaneous branches and cut off pests and diseases, dead branches, cross branches, dense branches, budding branches and long branches.
Too old branches should be properly pruned and updated to promote new vines.
