What is the difference between cherries grown at an altitude of 4200 meters?
In the past two years, the cherries (also known as European sweet cherries), which have become popular in China, have been very popular in recent years because of their pleasant appearance and sweet taste.
From northeast to southwest, this kind of fruit often labeled as “high-end” and “imported” has been grown in China, but it is affected by factors such as soil, air temperature and humidity, wind, and sunlight. The highest altitude stays only at 2000 meters.

Today, in Nimu Township, Nimu County, Lhasa City, Tibet, with an altitude of more than 4,200 meters, with the breakthrough of high-altitude cherries planting technology, not only local people can eat at their doorsteps, but also surrounding citizens and tourists can come and eat. .

"The most arrogant" cherries to buy
What is the correct "opening method" for cherries to buy? Buy by one, or weigh? No, no, the practice of the Nimu people is that the whole tree is "buy" down, they want to eat at any time, come over and pick at any time, and some people "buy" two plants.

In the intelligent greenhouse of the Umi Agricultural Industrial Park in Nimu Township, the first batch of about 300 cherries trees with fruit is already fruitful. In the layers of turquoise green, the dense and bright red fruits are covered with branches. Very tempting.
As the hometown of the founder of Tibetan script, Tumi Sambuza, Nimu County, which has more than 1,300 years of history, belongs to the high-altitude and high-cold region of Tibet. The Umi Agricultural Industrial Park in Nimu Township was originally a deserted beach, and it could not be pastured. Agriculture.
The successful planting of Cherries, which was originally suitable for cultivation in temperate climates, excited the people of all ethnic groups in the county, and organized a new subscription activity.

For the first time, these cherry trees did not enter the full fruiting period. For the sake of fruit tree growth, artificial thinning was also carried out, so the output of each fruit tree is not large, but this does not affect everyone's enthusiasm for subscription. The people who signed the subscriptions took pictures to give their family good news, while still inviting the unsuccessful people to have a good time. Everyone's face was full of joy.
Working in Nimu County for 18 years, Sichuanese Wang Qingguo can’t wait to share the “lucky tree” he has drawn with his friends. "To be full of style to Bashu, to live up to the first branch of the hundred fruits, to say that planting this kind of fruit tree that is very picky about temperature, light, moisture and soil is the first choice in Sichuan. The success of trial planting in Tibet has to be a miracle. "

Nima Ciren, who subscribed to two Cherries trees, was even more happy, "This family and relatives come and pick whenever they want to eat. To eat this rare fruit, I have to drive more than 120 kilometers to Lhasa City. Go buy it, now people in other parts of Tibet get us to try it out."
"It's not a big deal for nearly 40,000 people in the county to eat'cherries'," said Zhang Shijie, head of the Umi Agricultural Industrial Park in Nimu County, who has been named "Niche 4000", Phase 2 There are also three varieties of the project, with about 3,000 cherries growing in succession, which can be supplied to the whole region of Tibet.

A hidden secret of a cherry
Imported cherries are delicious. How about the taste of Nimu cherries grown on a plateau of more than 4200 meters above sea level?
"Big, fresh, juicy, and sweet", this is the most feedback from people who have tasted Nilimali. Since Cherries gradually matured in May, Nimu has repeatedly invited citizens and tourists from around to come and try it.
"The cherries growing out of the plateau are sweet."
"Great for my Tibet, real green food."
"The juice is full, and the mouth is full of sweetness. I want to eat it after eating..."
"Love, love, red and big, you can't stop drooling when you get it."
"Different cherries, how much hard work is behind them, do you want to taste them?"
...
The little cherries have won great praise. What secrets are hidden in this?

Zhang Shijie said that the first place is due to the land here. Nimu is full of loose soil and deep sandy loam. Although it is impossible to grow most crops, it is very suitable for the growth of cherries after nutrient conservation.
"Secondly, Nimu County has plenty of sunshine, rich heat, and strong light. The cherries peel not only gets sun-colored, but also the flesh can get enough photosynthesis to produce sugar." Zhang Shijie said that the general cherries growth cycle More than 40 days, but the growth cycle of cherries has reached more than 60 days, which is more than 20 days.

Tibet is known as the third pole in the world and is one of the regions with the best ecological environment in the world. It has unique blue sky, clear water and pure land. Zhang Shijie said that this is the third and the biggest secret of Nimche. "There are few diseases and insect pests on the plateau, and the intelligent greenhouses are strictly disinfected. Water and fertilizer drip irrigation is used. After expert identification, pesticide residues and heavy metal content are far lower than similar products on the market."
So what is the price of such a high-quality cherries market? Zhang Shijie sold a pass, "Nimu cherries have many types, large scales, mature stages, and are listed in batches to ensure long-term stable market supply. We will never sell high prices with scarce and high-end gimmicks. The cherries are going to a bigger market and they are definitely not more expensive than other cherries."

Beijing aids Tibet to help Nimu bear fruit
The natural conditions are poor, the geographical location is remote, and the resource endowment is insufficient. There are nearly 40,000 people in the county, and the cultivated land area is less than 1.2 mu per capita. Before the introduction of the modern agricultural industry represented by cherries, the "three differences" was the reality that Nimu, once a small county with a small population, a small agricultural county, and a county with weak financial resources, had to face.
"To develop towards the green mountains and green waters, and to find a way out to the ecological pastoral fields", after years of practice, with the assistance of counterpart aid funds and technical advantages of various districts and counties in Beijing, Nimu invested RMB 54.992 million to build a modern facility agricultural park, which created The plateau ecological pastoral complex" is the main content of poverty alleviation. Nimu Plateau planting space breeding and industrialization promotion and application projects are examples.

According to Zhang Shijie, there are already 11 Chelizi intelligent greenhouses, the soil has been specially improved, and the seedlings are also well-known varieties such as Meizao, red light, and Rafis introduced from the mainland. Under the guidance of professional technicians, the project works Every day, the staff picks new shoots for the fruit trees, controls the temperature and waters them, and takes care of each fruit tree carefully.
"Cherry tree is very delicate, the temperature is higher, the branches and leaves are easy to slap, and the root is slower, and the growth of the root system will slow down." Deji is the "point-to-point" industrial cadre in Nimu County responsible for the cultivation and cultivation of cherries. During the piloting of the first phase of the Lizi planting project, she paid a lot of hard work.

In 2019, Deji and the project workers tried to pollinate with bees, but the results were not satisfactory. This year all artificial pollination was used. "At that time, we were soaked in the cherries planting base from 8 am to 9 pm, just like Take care of your own children."
"One week after the first fruit of the cherry tree this year, the fruit of the original tree fell to the ground. I thought I was poorly managed and I blamed myself." Deji, who encountered this problem for the first time, couldn't eat or sleep. I thought, I tried my best to turn over the book, check the information, and consult the experts, "I knew that this was the normal physiological fruit of the cherry tree, and a hanging heart fell."

After continuous study and exploration, Deji not only possessed the experience of trial planting cherries, but also trained 2 technical backbones from local villagers. Chongduolam, a villager in Nieyu Village, Nimu Township, is one of them. "There are more than 100 yuan of work income per day in the cherries planting base. More importantly, I learned the cherries planting technology and I will contract a smart greenhouse in the future. , Earn more money."

Zhang Shijie said that the Umi Agricultural Industrial Park has completed the construction of an intelligent multi-span greenhouse of 3835.21 square meters, a solar greenhouse of 12180 square meters, and supporting facilities. It can also plant peppers, tomatoes, zucchini, eggplant, cucumber, pumpkin, Watermelon, melon, raspberry, etc. "After the cherry tree is fully fruited, this item alone can achieve an annual income of more than 3 million yuan, driving more than 240 farmers and herdsmen to continue to increase their income steadily.

Beijing-Tibet has a fruitful hand in hand, from a blueprint to a real scene, organic agriculture represented by Chelizi is only a small step for the Nimu people to get out of poverty and go on a well-off road. With the Tibetan chicken industry and rural tourism in the "Labei Ring Road" The non-hermetic incense industry has also successively achieved "climbing over the ridge". In the near future, Nimu will stand on a snowy plateau with a brand-new attitude.
