A leaf sells for more than 100 yuan. Will you buy it? The fallen leaves without quarantine are hidde

Recently, the lyrics have been eyed by some businessmen, which has spawned business opportunities: the merchant will divide the French Wutong leaves into a single frame mounted in the photo frame or gift box, and be named "the leaves of the fragrant Pavilion" on the Internet. Will you buy a dead tree leaf for 160 yuan?

'imported fallen leaves' 160 yuan a piece

Nanjing is everywhere

The reporter of Jiangsu Radio and television financial media news center searched the shopping website for 'fallen leaves of champs' and jumped out hundreds of links. Most of these leaves are sold in picture frames,

The price of a single chip ranges from 120 yuan to 160 yuan

In addition, some people made leaves and Jay Chou's CDs into gift boxes for sale, and the price was 100 yuan higher than that of a single leaf. Some sellers even stressed that the fallen leaves are 'from the Champs Elysees in France'.

The reporter chose an online store with the largest sales volume of fallen leaves for consultation. The other party said that they specially sent someone to collect and bring home these fallen leaves in France, but the relevant certificates are inconvenient to show.

The other seller admitted that the 'fallen leaves of champs' sold online,

In fact, most of them are only leaves of Wutong, not really from France. Reporters found high streets and back lanes in Nanjing, which are common in Wutong, which has been planted in Nanjing for more than 100 years.

Pick up a fallen leaf on the ground, which is almost no different from the so-called 'fallen leaves of the French champs' on the Internet.

So what does "Wutong" have to do with France? Can you tell where it comes from just by a leaf?

Qin Yalong, a staff member of the Zhongshan botanical garden in Nanjing, said that it is not easy to tell which species it belongs to, but it is even more difficult to identify Wutong.

Qin Yalong introduced the distinction between China's native Wutong and its native species.

Wutong, Wutong and Wutong are commonly referred to as' Wutong '. actually,

Most of the street trees in Nanjing and other city are Wutong.

'Why are they collectively called & lsquo; Wutong ’ And? Because in the 10s and 20s of last century, the French brought the British Wutong back from abroad and planted them in the French concession of Shanghai. Wutong told reporters that the difference between the species of Wutong is mainly on fruit: the fruit of Qin Yalong has only one fruit ball.

As a three ball Platanus acerifolia, there are three fruit balls on a fruit sequence;

The Wutong Wutong and American Indus trees are hybridized, so the fruit bearing balls are mostly two, but there will be one and three fruit balls on the same tree.

Fallen leaves without quarantine are hidden dangers

Be careful not to be fooled by the merchant

Although the leaves of the Wutong are almost the same as that of the roadside, there are still people who are willing to pay for the "vanilla". The reporter opened the comment area of an online store that sells 34 leaves a month,

I found that most of the buyers were fans.

Many citizens believe that it is not worth spending so much money on a leaf just for feelings and romance.

△ citizen: I don't think it's worth more than 100 yuan for such a common leaf.

The lawyer said that for businesses, the development of cultural and creative products is worth encouraging, and it is not impossible to rub the heat of marketing, but they must operate in good faith and abide by the law, and can not engage in false publicity and fraudulent sales, let alone sell commodities without quarantine and hidden dangers to consumers.

"First of all, the Customs Law of the people's Republic of China prohibits leaves with unknown insects, eggs and other animals and plants without quarantine from entering the customs, but it does not rule out that they enter the country through other illegal means. If it enters China through illegal means, it will cause unpredictable damage to the domestic ecological balance. " Meanwhile, lawyers reminded, "if the sale of leaves is not imported as a propaganda word, imported from France is just the leaves of the Wutong tree, then the merchant may be suspected of fraud. Consumers can claim a three loss according to the consumer protection act."

Micro comment: don't let the leaves that are difficult to distinguish between true and false reap your feelings. 'you don't need to choose the most expensive gift, just the leaves of Champs Elysees.' But in fact, 'leaves of Champs Elysees' is not cheap. This kind of' leaves of Champs Elysees' sold online,

It is more like an accurate harvest for the majority of fans under the banner of 'Romance' and 'import'.

For fans as consumers, star chasing should not be blind, and consumption should be more rational. Otherwise, it is not only feelings that are ruthlessly harvested, but also IQ tax.
