つい2日前の23日に見かけた画面に目がクギ付けになりました。育てたことの無い「皇帝ナツメ」が何と3,100円の特別価格で出ていたのです。ナツメ好きのあまり見間違いしているのではないかと、そのサイトを何度もよーく見て確認したあとは、即注文。今日の午後2時過ぎの希望時間帯にはもう配達されました。
箱を受け取った瞬間、「重いっ!」。当然、期待しました。
Two days ago, I happened to see a special price offer of a named variety of jujube (the official Chinese name of this variety is not known in Japan, but it originally came from the continent). The price was reduced to such a level that I could not resist. I have never had this variety before and only too happy to try it.
I placed the order, and the plant was delivered just after 2 p.m. today, as I had requested. The moment the delivery person handed the box to me, it felt so heavy!
When I got this plant in March, I noticed that the root stock had been 'swallowed up' by the scion tree. I have planted it so that the scion tree could start growing its own roots. This may not be a proper way to do, but what I need now is to ensure the survival of this plant. I think it is alive because, when I pour water over the plant, the skin at the base looks very green.
