| Chinese Toon: Grow as speedy veg sprouting |
I always want to grow
something eatable, and what can be better than a Chinese Toon (香椿) tree, which is formally called Toona Sinensis. The young shoots
and leaves are popular vegetable for Chinese dishes. The only problem is that
the tree grows fast and will reach 25meters eventually. That will definitely
make an odd looking balcony.
Anyway, I still asked my
mom to buy some seeds for me because I miss the spicy flavour. The variety I chosen is the one with red young
leaves, which has the best taste.
Surprised, my mom found there
is another way to grow it, grow it as speedy veg sprouting. I’ve tried a few
times, it is very easy if keep it warm enough.
I just soak the seed overnight, and sow them the next day. The sprouts
will pop up after about one week.
Just for my curiosity, I kept a few to grow bigger to see how big
it can be inside a container.
