Chinese Tung Flowers (Vernicia fordii or Aleurites fordii)
Toucheng Farm’s Tung flowers are also in bloom! The Chinese Tung (Tung –oil tree) seeds produced the valued tung oil. Marco Polo, during the 13th century wrote: The Chinese take some lime and chopped hemp, these they knead together with a certain wood oil, and when the 3 are thoroughly amalgated, they hold, like any glue, with this mixture, they pay their ship”.
The Hakka Community of Taiwan celebrates at this season The Tung Blossom Festival, a popular feast. The fallen white- colored flowers flood the pathways, like snow on May – just like the white falling object at wintertime. The Hakka people say: “Let our eyes feast in the Tung Blossoms!” which also represents the Hakka spirit.
While watching the ducks and ducklings swimming around the pond, at Toucheng Farm's Farm animals area, make sure to walk around the Tung-oil tree, try to catch some flowers falling, and smell the scented surrounding. And experience the Hakka spirit!
