I am a dwarf tonsil. I may have heard of my name, but everyone has heard of my relatives, Badanmu? Badanmu is a kind of dried fruit often eaten by people in Xinjiang. Badanmu is also called tonsils, so we are relatives.

Badanmu is planted artificially. It is mainly growing in Xinjiang in the southern Xinjiang area. I am a wild Badanmu and I mainly live in the Tower City and Ili area in northern Xinjiang. Bayanmu's plants and fruits are larger than me, but don't look at my head, my head is not small, it's great!

We dwarf tonsils are precious ancient Mediterranean Third Ji of the Sino -Singaporean Law Forest Forest Tree species. In the eyes of scientists, we have very important scientific research value. It has important scientific significance.

We originally grew up in southeast Europe and central Asia. In the former Czechoslovakia, we found that the third year of the third year of the third year of the third year of the third year of the third year was the third year. But now, due to the constraints of natural environmental conditions, the survival range of our short tonsils is getting smaller and smaller. In China, we only live in the narrow terrain of the special mountains in northern Xinjiang, plus artificial interference and mining, so that our survival has made our survival Facing endangered land.

Since 1980, Xinjiang has established a natural reserve for us. Wild Badan Xing Nature Reserve in Yumin County, Tacheng area is the largest dwarf -tonsil distribution place in the world, with 100,000 acres of wild Badan Xinglin. Today we are included in the "National Key Protection of Wild Plants (Second Batch)" (Discussion Draft), and the protection level is the National Class II endangered key protection.

May every year is the season when we bloom, let alone how beautiful the scenery is! Our fruits are very nutritious. Nuclear kernels contain a variety of amino acids, trace elements and vitamins. They can treat hypertension and cardiovascular disease. The bitter almondin refined from it has anti -cancer effects and high economic value. Nowadays, in the late summer, the fruit is almost mature. People are welcome to taste it. I hope that more and more people will understand us, protect us, and let us exert greater value. (Reporter Li Xing compiled)
