There are many Photinia flowers planted on the streets of Wuhan. Because of the smell, people often make complaints about what they want to grow. Why do they need to grow? Shi Nanhua is very embarrassed because of the special smell, and later he can't grow. On the 12th, the Department of landscape architecture responded on the message board of Wuhan City on changjiang.com: new landscaping projects will replace Photinia with Osmanthus fragrans and other plants, and Photinia will be gradually eliminated in road improvement projects.
Netizen Mr. Wang lives in T-shaped bridge in Wuchang. Recently, he began to smell Photinia on the nearby streets. In particular, there are many Photinia trees planted near Shiyang martyrs' cemetery. Many citizens exercise nearby and have to endure the strange smell of Photinia. He noticed that people around him often complained about it. At this time of year, there are many netizens make complaints about the Internet.
Netizens believe that Photinia can be seen almost everywhere in the streets of three towns, and the flowering period of more than half a month every year causes trouble to many people. At present, the level of greening is advanced, and there are more and more kinds of urban greening options. It is suggested that the Department of landscape greening should use Lagerstroemia indica, Osmanthus fragrans and other tree species to replace Photinia.
On the 12th, a reporter from Changjiang Daily noticed that the Wuhan Municipal Bureau of landscape and forestry made a clear statement when replying to netizens' messages.
As for why to plant Photinia, the maintenance and Management Office of Wuhan landscape forestry bureau said: Photinia has luxuriant branches and leaves, strong resistance, large amount of green, high survival rate, evergreen all the year round, purple new shoots and tender leaves, long-lasting color, and bright red fruit after autumn. It is an evergreen broad-leaved tree with high ornamental value. Because of its fast growth speed, strong germination and resistance to pruning, it can be used as hedge color block or court shade tree according to the needs of gardens, and has a certain adsorption effect on smoke and toxic gases, so it is widely used in many cities.
The reply mentioned that in recent years, the planting of Photinia in Wuhan has increased. When it blooms in mid April, the flowers have a certain special taste, and some citizens are more sensitive.
In view of this, other plants such as Osmanthus fragrans have been used to replace Photinia in the new landscaping projects in Wuhan, and Photinia has been gradually eliminated in the road reconstruction and upgrading projects, such as Yanjiang Avenue.
For Photinia which is growing well and has no replacement plan in the near future, Wuhan Municipal Bureau of landscape and forestry will strengthen the management of Photinia in the whole city, urge the maintenance units to prune Photinia before flowering, so as to reduce the amount of Photinia flowers and reduce the impact of Photinia taste on some citizens while ensuring the green amount.
