Sassafras Flowers Bloom in Sunny Spring

Before the Lantern Festival, Spring has been to Xishan.

”Recently, tourists and residents who walk in Town Center of Yangxian Xishan, are often attracted by a tall tree faraway. There are light yellow on the canopy like stars. They are surprised and ask "What kind of tree it is? How beautiful it is!”

“Sassafras.” Technician of Yada Agriculture told us.

Sassafras is very common in Jiangnan area, but with uncommon background. Here, sassafras are natural. Many of them decorate the green mountain. They are more native than us.

01. Diligent Early Bird

”Someone said, "the first person who find sassafras flower is the first person who sees the spring."

Sassafras grows in warm and moist climate with abundant rainfall. The average temperature that is good for its growth is 12-20℃. It is the earliest flowering tree in spring in Yixing, eve twenty days earlier than Yulan.

In this year, spring comes to Xishan earlier than the past. Sassafras in the mountain cannot wait. Balls of flowers bloom on the top of branches, light yellow, in the shape of wintersweet. Flowers dance with breeze. They bring a strong signal to us that the spring is coming in such days that suddenly get warmer but may turn cold again. 

Wander in Xishan Town. Watch the blooming sassafras flowers in the mountain afar. The touch of yellow in the blue sky reminds us the plants in our home yard. A feeling suddenly rises in the heart, growth in the nature is better than any kind of devoted care. Grow according to the natural principle. Time will prove the value of your diligence.

02. Integrity

"No sassafras is crooked in the world."

When we are talking about tall and straight trees, sassafras is not in the spotlight. It is not as bold and unrestrained as white poplar. It does not stand as firm as pine in the snow. But three sassafras can form a forest. Even one sassafras can be picturesque. That is like recluse of Jiangnan with strength of character.

In the west region of Yada Agricultural Park, two tall sassafras trees stand with full yellow flowers. They seem like classic luxury lamp stand with elegant oriental aesthetics that take everyone' s breath.

"No sassafras is crooked in the world."

No matter in the forest or wild, sassafras are straight, stand firm to the sky. They stay there day and night, windy, rainy or sunny. They root deeply into the earth to interpret the meaning of the life.

That is also the spirit of Yada - virtue for the future!
