the old pomegranate tree occupied the whole yard. Dong Congzhe
newspaper July 15th news (reporter Dong Congzhe Intern Yang Qiyue) "since 2008 said to be removed, the old pomegranate tree is basically not the result." Although the demolition department gave the old pomegranate tree compensation money, but the official at Yonghe Lane 29, the owner of the old pomegranate tree, Lou Zhiyuan, still worried about its fate: "according to the garden department, it finally moved to the four Li Mountain pomegranate garden home."
12 morning, the reporter found a half of the "building house" in a disorderly official camp area. The old pomegranate tree is still luxuriant, but there are few fruit hanging on it. The three or four pomegranate trees around it are the same, and few pomegranate fruits are seen. Lou Zhiyuan has not yet moved, the big house he built up by his ancestors had many nostalgia, "these pomegranate trees are not a variety, that is when I was planted in primary school, also more than 50 years old, this is a very good variety, pomegranate, special sweet..."
Lou's mother said to the tree under the tree: "when my mother-in-law married to this house at eighteen, the pomegranate tree was so big that every year the old pomegranate trees had several big baskets of pomegranates. When I heard about the demolition, the old tree would not bear fruit. Maybe it's also about moving. "
Lou Zhiyuan told reporters that the house was very large. The pomegranate tree was a Zhejiang variety from the ancestor of the ancestors of Zhejiang to Ji'nan. It may be a reign from Daoguang. It has been in Ji'nan for two hundred years. To be demolished, trees can no longer be carried, each tree has compensated 500 yuan, but he still wants to help him find a good place to go. Lou Zhiyuan called everywhere. At the beginning, the Baotu Spring Park in Ji'nan had an intention to stay, and the family was very happy to donate. Later, the staff of the garden park of Baotu Spring Park in Ji'nan came to see the courtyard of the building. Because the trees were too big, they later gave up. The family also contacted the garden Bureau of Tianqiao District, hoping to set up an ancient and famous wooden card for this tree, so that the old tree that came to Ji'nan after the building would encounter unexpected accidents. Reporters also learned from Lou Zhiyuan's mother that there was another reason for building houses and trees. Lou family first surname Lou, there is no wood. After entering the imperial examinations, the emperor of the Qing Dynasty made a slip of the pen and wrote his surname as "Lou".
"now I feel a little relieved. Although the Tianqiao District Garden Bureau has never given it a card, they say that four Li mountain is going to build a pomegranate garden, the old pomegranate tree in the city, and the old pomegranate tree will be moved there after the house is removed."
the reporter inquired about the specific location of the new pomegranate orchard in the Tianqiao District Bureau of parks and gardens and the Central Bureau of parks and gardens. According to the reporter, there are plenty of old pomegranate trees, fig trees, old locust trees, walnut trees and even grape trees. Some old trees are older than the pomegranate tree. Many residents expressed the hope that the demolition and garden departments could ensure that these "live cultural relics" living in the area of the official camp are better, or there are better places to go, and they can not be cut down.
