The Yangtze River Daily Da Wuhan Client July 5th (Reporter Cai Xinxing Correspondent Hu Juan) 107 National Highway Changqing Street section, Dahong, Pink white, and light purple Lagerstroemia flowers bloom. Xiong Gang was worried that Lagerstroemia, who had just cutting this year, couldn't carry the rainstorm in the rainy season. On the morning of July 5th, while the rainfall, he took the players of the maintenance department of Wuhan Changqing Tiancheng Garden Engineering Co., Ltd., and went to the street to "look at flowers".

In a corner flower bed next to National Highway 107, Xiong just saw a few white spots on a few Lagerstroemia leaves, and then told the team members to pay attention to the medicine at night, "Otherwise the white powder will spread in the middle of the Lagerstroemia flower."

Xiong Gang, 48, is the deputy manager of the Tiancheng Garden Maintenance Department. He has served in the army for more than ten years and has not been awarded the title of "Wuhan Model Retired Military" not long ago. The old soldier with a dark skin and dark skin understands every tree and flowers on every part of Changqing Street. A few years ago, he introduced Lagerstroemia to the greening of Changqing Street, so that the city gaps turned small, and there was a garden in the corner.

Xiong Gang said that before he joined the Garden of Tiantong in 2013, he never touched the garden work, but now he can recognize tens of thousands of plants. His Tiancheng Garden is a demonstration base of Lagerstroemia Light and Simple and efficient cultivation technology of Ziwei University of Agricultural University.

"We are experimenting. Two seasons of Lagerstroemia will be cultivated for a year, and the flowering period will be extended to half a year." Xiong Gang said that Changqing Street is located in the west gate of Wuhan, the logistics park gathers, and the vehicles are busy. Block. Five years ago, through study and inspection in many places, he advocated citing Lagerstroemiacasie and creating a small scene in the block. "Lagerstroemia flowers bloom from May to July each year, with long flowering period, good ornamental, strong drought resistance. The only shortcomings are pests and pests, and we need to take care of it."

In the first year of the introduction, because of lack of experience, the next time the next time was earlier, the survival rate of Lagerstroemia flowers was only 50%, which caused Xiong Gang to frustrate. To this end, he not only asked his experienced peers with rich planting experience, but also contacted the Research Group of Ziwei Department of Huazhong Agricultural University to learn the cutting technology of Lagerstroemia. Xiong Gang said that after technological improvement, it not only greatly improved the survival rate of Lagerstroemia, but also greatly reduced planting costs.

Since then, every year in the summer, Lagerstroemia flowers with more than 90,000 square meters of Changqing Street have bloomed as scheduled, becoming a punch point for many citizens.

Unlike other people's visit to the park, Xiong Gang went out of the "new idea" every time. Once visiting the park, the garden workers who were building the corridor gave Xiong Gang inspiration: Lagerstroemia flower planting technology has matured. Why not try to build a Lagerstroemia flower pavilion or Lagerstroemia wall to make small street scenes.

The idea was quickly recognized by superiors. Everyone also decided to tie the Lagerstroemia vase, and use the wire of the height of the adult vase to allow the Lagerstroemia to grow along the vase. "This is the first time I tried this planting method this year. The results can be seen after a few months."

Due to the recognition of professional ability, many companies on Changqing Street have successively found Xiong Gang and his team, hoping to replace green plants and create landscapes for the park. For each landscap, Xiong Gang took the most reasonable solution for local conditions and never charged.
