普通无花果

By Ouyang Yu






这是路边无花果，但不知是什么种，因为里面翻开是白心：

这就清楚了 —— 这不是橡树，是无花果（Ficus）。

而且从叶子和果实特征判断，它极有可能是：

🌳 普通无花果

Ficus carica

判断依据：

  • 叶片大、掌状分裂，叶脉非常明显

  • 果实成串贴着枝条长

  • 果实呈圆形绿色

  • 路边种植（常见于澳洲居民区）

你说“里面翻开是白心”

这点很关键。

无花果的果肉颜色分两类：

  1. 红心（常见商品种）

  2. 白心 / 淡黄心（很多老品种）

白心通常意味着：

  • 可能是传统品种

  • 可能是观赏型

  • 也可能是未成熟（未熟时会偏白）

常见可能品种（澳洲路边常见）

  • Brown Turkey（成熟偏红心）

  • White Adriatic（成熟偏浅色/白心）

  • 路边自生苗（种子传播，果实质量不稳定）

如果果肉成熟后还是偏白或浅黄，很可能是 White Adriatic 类型。

一个关键问题

你切开时：

  • 甜不甜？

  • 果肉软不软？

  • 有很多小籽吗？

如果不甜、偏硬，那只是还没熟。
如果成熟但味道淡，那就是观赏或野生型。

说句实在的：

路边无花果很多是鸟类传播的野生后代，
品种已经混血，不一定能精确归类。

但可以确定的是 ——
这是一棵可食用型无花果，而不是装饰型大榕树。

如果你愿意，我可以教你三步判断它值不值得扦插种一棵。

打开后是这样的，很甜：

很好，这张图就更明确了。

这是典型的 Ficus carica（可食用无花果），而且是已经成熟的。

你这个果子的特征：

  • 外皮绿色

  • 果肉偏浅粉 / 淡红

  • 内部绒状结构明显

  • 很甜

  • 果腔不空、不干

这说明它不是观赏榕树，也不是未成熟状态，而是正常可食用品种。

它大概率是什么类型？

在澳洲路边常见的几种：

  1. White Adriatic 型

    • 绿皮

    • 果肉浅红或粉色

    • 很甜

    • 常见于老移民区

  2. Brown Turkey 的绿变异型

    • 有些也会绿皮

    • 甜度不错

    • 适应性强

从你这个颜色和甜度判断，我更偏向 White Adriatic 系列。

重要判断

你说“很甜” —— 这句话值钱。

无花果分三种情况：

  1. 甜而香 → 好品种

  2. 甜但淡 → 普通

  3. 不甜 → 野生退化

你这个内部颜色均匀、种子发育好、没有空腔，属于正常优良果。

实话实说

这种路边无花果，很多是鸟类传播出来的实生苗。

实生苗有一个特点：

  • 有的会非常好吃

  • 有的会一般

  • 但只要甜度好，就值得扦插

如果你在墨尔本这边（之前你提过澳洲），这种无花果是非常好种的。

给你一个实用建议

如果你真的觉得好吃：

现在剪一段当年生半木质枝条（约20cm）
插土里，保持湿润
成功率非常高

无花果是最容易扦插的果树之一。

别光研究它是什么品种 ——
如果味道好，就把基因复制下来。

这才是聪明人的做法。

你要不要我教你一个几乎100%成功的扦插方法？

002, from Poetry Remarks

Mel C. Thompson Publishing, San Francisco, 2013, p. 23. [I said 'no page number' because my lower ear mark concealed it, my apologies. Then I thought: What a fantastic idea if there's no page numbers! I have a book that has no Contents although it timidly carries page numbers. See Two Hearts, Two Tongues and Rain-coloured Eyes . Wild Peony, 2002. In future, I'd make a poetry book with no Contents and no page numbers. Why make things so easy for people that they won't even bother reading?] This book is long out of print, so don't start thinking that I'm trying to promote something. I've only got one copy in the world and I'm not selling it.

LOWER DOWNS, RUBBISH AND LOW POETRY by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
Beauty is so far from being the dominant principle of modern poetry that many of the most splendid modern works are clearly portrayals of ugliness - Friedrich Schlegel ( On the Study of Greek Poetry , 1797) Contemporary Chinese poetry has unashamedly turned from the sublime and sacred to the vulgar and profane. In April 1999 at the Panfeng Conference in Pinggu County, Beijing, poets split into two camps, the  zhishi fenzi  (intellectual) and the  minjian . 1  The poets in the intellectual camp (Wang Jiaxin, Ouyang Jianghe, Xi Chuan, Zang Di and others) were mostly well-published, anthologised, critically acclaimed, well-travelled and internationally well-connected. As university professor and poetry critic Cheng Guangwei noted, much of their poetry reflects the influences of Western literary masters such as Yeats, Rilke, Lowell, Pound, Baudelaire, Milosz, Pasternak and Brodsky. 2  The  minjian camp (Yu Jian, Yi Sha, Xu Jiang and others) critiqued these infl...

Self Publishing, a poem by Ouyang Yu

By Ouyang Yu
In a way, everything is self publishing. When you open your mouth to talk, you are self publishing because you don’t want someone else to speak for you even if he or she were the speech writer for Howard or Bush or Mao Zedong. When the rain decides to fall it is self publishing, on a regional scale, sometimes on a statewide scale. You can’t dismiss it as unworthily self publishing because it doesn’t fall on a national scale or international scale. Rivers in the world are self publishing on a daily and nightly basis. Even a little creek is self publishing when it winds its way through an industrial zone clogged with toxicity and waste. Birds never remain quiet because they don’t get paid for calling, their ways of self publishing that never is actually recorded in human history, not even in birds’ history, and when sometimes it does get recorded as in relaxation music they still don’t get paid and they still keep singing, their ways of self publishing. Some great self publish...
