How to distinguish between large leaf Milan and small leaf Milan

The microphylla Milanese branches are dense and graceful, and when flowering, panicles are drawn from the axils of the upper leaves of the branchlets, and are adorned with golden buds as thin as fish eggs. Put it indoors full of fragrance, refreshing people's hearts.

Big-leaf Milan, the leaf shape is larger, its flowers often bloom with the growth of new branches, the big leaves are also called tree orchids, grow vigorously, there are many flowers, it is not very fragrant, you have to stick your nose on the flowers and smell it vigorously, in order to smell the fragrance of the flowers, the floral fragrance of the small leaves is relatively strong, the landlord has not raised it is not easy to distinguish, it is best to buy flowers, smell it and distinguish clearly.

Milanese flower, (Latin name: aglaia

odorata

lour) alias: Four Seasons Milan, Broken Milan, Neemaceae, Mizaran evergreen shrub or small tree; Adapt to warm and humid climate conditions, and adult plants need plenty of sunlight. Its branches and leaves are dense and green, and it blooms many times a year, with the most blooming in summer and autumn.

When it blooms, it is fragrant and smells like an orchid. The top of the twig often has small stellate rust-colored scales;

The pinnate compound leaves are alternate, the flowers are yellow, the taste is very fragrant, and the diameter is about 2 mm. pedicels of both sexes slightly short and thick, calyx 5-lobed, petals 5, oblong; The berries are nearly spherical, 10-12 mm long, and bloom in summer and autumn.

In the southern courtyard, Milan is another superb landscape tree.

Milan has no big or small leaves, it won't be boxwood. Milan is cold, and in winter it can be placed in a south-facing environment with sufficient sunshine and a temperature of more than 8 degrees Celsius. The rest of the season is easy to take care of.

This is not a large-leaved Milan, it should be a four-season Milan, with a long flowering period and the most vigorous summer. There is no difference between the 7-leafed and the 5-leafed, and the Milanese leaflet is opposite, with 3, 5, 7, slices.

Milan and small-leaved boxwood mainly have the following four differences: 1. Leaves, the leaves of small-leaved boxwood are regular opposites, and there is an independent leaf at the top of the Milan leaf; 2. Flower stem, Milan flower stem cross-section is round, small-leaved boxwood flower stem cross-section is prismatic; 3. Flowers, Milanese flowers are more dense, and small-leaved boxwood flowers are looser; 4. Flowering period, Milan flowering lasts longer, and small-leaved boxwood flowering period is shorter.

From the leaf point of view, the leaves of Milan and small-leaved boxwood are opposite, but the leaves of small-leaved boxwood are regular opposite-born leaves, while the leaves of Milan flowers are also opposite, but there will be an independent leaf at the top, and there is no opposite leaf.

Milan and small-leaved boxwood can also be distinguished by the flower stem, the flower stem of the Milanese flower is round after being cut off, without edges and corners, and after the flower stem of the boxwood is cut off with the flower, it is found that the boxwood is truncated and the shape is boxy, with edges and corners.

From the point of view of flowers, the flowers of Milan flower are very dense, mainly growing in the axils of the branches and leaves of the new branches, growing below the new branches, the flowers are smaller, the color is mainly yellow, and the smell is more fragrant. Whereas, the flowers of boxwood mainly grow in the leaf axils and are yellow-green in color, which is not as dense and fragrant as Milanese flowers.

From the point of view of flowering period, Milan flowers have a long flowering period and can bloom continuously, and the flowering period can last for about 1 year, and the peak flowering period is in the summer of each year. The flowering period of boxwood is only 1 2 months, and the flowering period is in April and May every year, and it cannot bloom continuously.

Small leaves: Milan is a twig with 6 to 7 green leaves. Large-leaved Milan has only 5 leaves.

Look at the leaves. The rounded tip of the leaflet, the pointed tip of the large leaflet. Small leaves can bloom in many seasons, and large leaves only bloom in summer.

Milan is still divided into big leaves and small leaves? I've only seen one.

1. Different characteristics.

Boxwood characteristics: evergreen shrubs or small trees. The bark is pale grayish-brown with flaking scales.

The twigs have quadrangular ridges, and the twigs and winter bud scales are pubescent. Leaves simple, leathery, obovate or elliptic, apex rounded or slightly concave, entire, surface dark green, shiny, backside yellowish-green. It blooms in April and grows in clusters on the axils of leaves.

The fruiting period is July, the capsule is spherical and the back is lobed. The seeds are black and shiny. Also commonly cultivated is the boxwood, which has dense branches, slender branches, and four edges.

Leaves parving, narrowly elongated inverted-lanceolate, or lanceolate-elliptic, apex rounded or slightly concave, base narrow wedge-shaped, entire, nearly sessile, midrib raised on both sides; Milanese characteristics: evergreen shrub or small tree, multi-branched. Odd pinnate compound leaves, 3-5 leaflets, bright green pages.

The panicles are axillary, the flowers are small and dense, yellow, and extremely aromatic. The flowering period is from summer to autumn.

2. Different ecological habits.

Boxwood ecological habits: warm-loving, shade-tolerant, and grows well in shade and humid conditions. It prefers easily fertile sandy soils and is highly resistant to alkalis.

Strong germination and resistance to pruning. Long lifespan, but very slow growth; Milan Ecological Habits: Prefer warm, humid, sunny environments, and can tolerate semi-shade.

The soil should be loose and slightly acidic. It is not cold-tolerant, except for South China and Southwest China, and needs to be cultivated in greenhouses. In winter, if the room temperature is kept at 12-15, the plant will grow vigorously and bloom vigorously.

3. The main production areas are different.

The main production area of boxwood: produced in central China, has been cultivated for a long time. Milan main production area: produced in the southern provinces and regions of China and southeast Asia.

This is a scale worm, using dimethoate spray should be useful, you can first check if these insects are dead (the dead scale worm part will still stick to the leaves), you can use a paper towel to wipe off the insect corpse. If the effect is really not good, you can change to special drugs, such as protophos, rapid culling, Jiejie, Jieba, wax Jieling and other special drugs, the effect is good and the effect is fast.

Milan has very small and fragrant flowers, and the leaves of small-leaved boxwood are more similar to those of Milan leaves, but the branches are much thicker, and flowering is rare.

Mizairan, also called Milan: evergreen shrub. Odd pinnate compound leaves, 3-5 leaflets, leathery and shiny.

The panicle is conical with leaf axils born in new shoots, the flowers are small, yellow, and fragrant, and the full flowering period is in summer. The often cultivated varieties of Milan have smaller leaves than Milan, dense flowers, and can continue to bloom with a long flowering period.

Small-leaved boxwood: The trunk is gray and white, the branches are dense, and the branches are quadrangular. Leaves opposite, leathery, entire, elliptic or obovate, apex rounded or slightly concave, bright green on the surface, yellow-green on the back, flowers clustered leaves axillary or branch ends, open in April to May, flowers yellow-green.
