Chapter 235 Not cheap

Workers are busy pruning branches and waiting for the leaves of fruit trees to fall off in autumn, the peak of sales will be ushered in here.

Another time is in early spring, when planting seedlings in these two times are easy to survive.

There are traces of grafting at the bottom of the peach fruit tree, and the branches are about the same thickness as the index finger.

When he heard Harris ask why he wanted to graft, the old black man Nelson smiled and said, "Because the seeds produced by many fruit trees are heterozygous, so they cannot maintain their characteristics by sowing seeds.

Moreover, grafting can shorten the time for their fruiting. These branches are generally collected from adult mother trees, and have the ability to bloom and grow more quickly.

These peaches will still bear fruit without grafting, but they will definitely bear fruit late, and the fruit must be as good as before. The mother tree has been cultivated by experts for many generations before it can be selected for the best-looking fruit trees. If they rely on seeds, they will gradually degenerate.

Peach seedlings grow one meter a year. These are two-year seedlings. They can start to bear fruit after two or three years when planting them. The results are the most after six or seven years. They will not age until twenty years later. They will be cut off and replant.

The fruits are about 200 grams each, and the maximum growth can reach 300. Do you want it?"

Han’s father nodded and asked, “How much does each fruit seedling cost?”

“1.5 USD, 10% off for more than 2,000 trees.”

"What if I buy ten thousand?"

Nelson's face froze and said with a wry smile: "Our base now has only more than 8,000 trees, and some of them have been booked by others and will be bought next month.

I think I can give you five thousand trees evenly. There should be still next year. I will buy it again at that time. The price is $1.2 per tree. What do you think?"

Han’s father didn’t understand this, and no one in the whole ranch understood it.

Lewis knew a little, but he went to California to buy black truffle chunks and called and said that he could buy whatever kind of fruit is needed more in the market.

These large wholesale merchants generally value credibility. If their reputation is ruined, they will be over and will not cheat people at will. Therefore, a few of them dare to come here alone to buy it.

"Then let's buy so many first. When can I get them?"

"As long as the amount is over 30,000 US dollars, I will ask the car to send it to you in a few days. All the leaves must be cut off, otherwise it will affect the survival rate and it will take more time to cut it."

Nelson said, pointing to the low shrubs ahead, “Those are blueberry seedlings, which have been artificially cultivated and can grow to more than two meters tall and produce more fruits.

There are several types here, divided into short bushes, half-high bushes and high bushes. There are also some wild blueberry varieties. They are very easy to sell and basically don’t have to worry about sales. I recommend the blue-feng blueberries there, which have good taste and long shelf life, and can maintain high yields for several consecutive years."

"How is artificially cultivated and wild blueberries different?" Han Xuan looked at the brand marked with wild blueberries. The bushes were only 40 centimeters tall.

"Wild blueberries have good taste and are ten times more nutritious than artificial blueberries, but the yield is too small, only a fraction of the artificially cultivated blueberry varieties.

If you want to eat it yourself, you can plant some wild blueberries. It is good for health and is not cost-effective to sell. It is too expensive to sell."

Han’s father nodded and then said, “Please help me choose some varieties suitable for sale. It is best to store them for a long time. There are hundreds of wild ones, and it is enough to plant about a thousand acres of land.”

Nelson was silently calculating, and opened the book to find the number, "There is no problem with wild blueberries. I went to other orchards to help you get all the other ones. I'll charge 1,500 trees per acre, and I'll calculate the price for you $1.7."

The corners of his mouth twitched. Han's father didn't know that these blueberry seedlings alone would cost more than 2.5 million US dollars. "So expensive?"

"Well, blueberries are the most expensive fruit trees. These are three-year seedlings that will mature and bear fruit next year. They are also expensive and can make a profit in just one year.

If it weren’t for the lack of bases and places, I would have planned to keep them myself. Don’t worry, the bank can handle the loan procedures, the interest rate is very low, I will give you a discount if I buy more."

Nelson thought he was worried about the funding issue and explained that he recorded the number of needed items in the book, "Let's take a look at cherries, they are the best fruits to sell. There are not enough in Canada. Montana is high at altitude and can stagger the peak sales period in June, and prices will rise a lot by August.

Mr. Han, I can help you contact the buyer. As long as you do a good job in pest management, you will definitely make money."

Han Xuan’s mother likes to eat cherries, but those who are picked in Montana in advance are not as good as natural and mature. If the supporting transportation refrigerated trucks can keep up, with the huge consumer group of grandpa’s company, the sales of cherries will not be a problem.

He interrupted: "This variety of points will be used in convenience stores in the future, and it will occupy at least half of the area. Other saplings are paired with cranberries, apples, grapes and pears."

"Half?" Nelson gasped. The price of cherry seedlings is similar to that of blueberry seedlings. It costs 800 to 900 trees per acre, and the business is more than 7 million.

The entire Tom Cat Nursery Base has an area of ​​20,000 acres, and he can't get all the cherry seedlings to sell him.

"Sorry, please wait a moment. I'll call my son and ask if anyone has booked it."

"Please feel free."

Looking at Nelson's back, Han's father grabbed the boy's ear: "I plan to plant some fruit trees casually. Others have grown grass. Do you know how much it will cost? More than 10 million! Your grandfather said you spend a lot of money, and now you have seen it!"

"It's not that you can't make money back. The vegetable garden can make millions every year. The profits of high-end fruits are much higher than those of vegetables. When these saplings grow, they can make all their money back in one or two years!

The rest are all pure profits, just spend some labor costs, 60,000 acres of wasteland, think about how big the output is, and besides, can’t you apply for a loan?”

Han Xuan turned his head and saw Harris giggling, glared at him, pulled his ear back and covered him with his ears.

The boy's father was mainly worried about money. He bought Smith Ranch and spent money and invested in establishing a vegetable plantation. He almost emptied his small vault. He heard his son's words and hummed: "I'll ask you for money if I can't make it back in the future. How many people will I hire to manage it?"

"I'll just ask for it again. I don't need much. I'll hire them to come here temporarily during the picking season."

Nelson walked over quickly and said, "I asked him, you can go to other places to draw apples, pears and grape seedlings, and cranberries may have to be delayed for several months before they can be available. It is only enough to plant fifty acres."

"Fifty is enough, and the rest are apples and grapes, and blueberries are added to 500 acres. This is the case first, and it will be more than 13 million US dollars. What is the discount?"

Han Xuan said with a smile: "Helena also has a large nursery base, and my dad is planning to go and see it."
