Ngakho-ke ama-apula, amapheya, ama-loquats, ama-medlars kanye ne-quince konke afana nawo?
Zonke izithelo ezibizwa ngokuthi yi-pomes (futhi ngezinye izikhathi zibizwa ngokuthi i-pommes). Ama-pomes ayingxenye yomndeni waseRosaceae, oqukethe nemifino, izithelo zamatshe, ama-strawberries, ama-almonds kanye nezihlahla ze-hawthorne.
Ama-house ngokuyisisekelo achazwa ukubunjwa kwezithelo zawo. I-pome yilokho esikubiza ngokuthi izithelo zokufinyelela, okusho ukuthi inyama edliwayo yakhiwa yizo zombili ze-carpels (izingxenye zembali ezithela zibe izithelo nembewu) kanye nezicubu ezihlukahlukene zokufinyelela.
Umgogodla uqukethe ama-carpels amaningi ahlanganisiwe aqukethe imbewu. Lezi zindwane zizungezwe inyama enzima, enesikhumba, enesibindi ebizwa nge-endocarp. Lokhu kuhlotshiswe yi-mesocarp elula futhi elula, inqwaba yenyama eniyidla isithelo. Ngaphandle kwalokho yi-epicarp, okuyinto isikhumba sesithelo.
Izihlahla ngokwazo ziyizinhlanzi, okusho ukuthi isihlahla sihlahlela amaqabunga ayo njalo ngonyaka futhi sihlala sihlezi ebusika. Izimbali zitholakala entwasahlobo zivuna izithelo ngasekupheleni kwehlobo nasekwindla.
Amakhaya anomlando omude wokuba umthombo ovamile wokudla kwamasiko amaningi. Empeleni, ama-apula isikhathi eside abe yinye yezithelo ezithandwa kakhulu kulo lonke elaseYurophu naseMelika.
Kulinganiselwa ukuthi cishe amaphesenti angama-60% asekhulile ngokusebenzisa umlando omningi asetshenziselwa ukungadli kodwa ukukhiqiza izidakamizwa ezidakayo. Lokhu kwaphela kwenyuka eYurophu ngokuphakama kwewayini nebhiya, nase-United States ngenxa yenqatshelwe lapho izithelo zezithelo ze-apula khona-ke kwadingeka zidayise 100% yesitshalo ukuze zidle ukudla.
(Lokhu nakho kwaholela ekulahlekelweni kwezinhlobo eziningi ze-heirloom, njengoba akuzona zonke ama-apula ayedla ukudla, kodwa kunalokho aphethwe ukuphuza.)
Ama-Pomes ayaziwa nangokukwazi kwabo ukufakelwa kalula. Isimpande esisodwa singase sisekele izinhlobo ezingaba ngu-20. Ngokuvamile ama-apula, amapheya, nama-pears ase-Asia (aka: nishi) athengiswa nge-graft eminingi ukuqinisekisa ukuthi ezihlukahlukene kodwa ukuvikela nezifo nezinambuzane.
Ama-apula, amapheya ase-Asia, nama-pears yizinhlobo zamapomes ezidume kakhulu futhi zikhona amakhulu emikhakha ngayinye, nakuba ezinye ezimbalwa zilawula emakethe.
Ngokuvamile ama-loquats athokoza kakhulu e-Asia naseMpumalanga Ephakathi, futhi ngenkathi ekhula kahle eNyakatho Melika, akhula ngokuyinhloko njengamakhemikhali abambalwa abanikazi abaqaphela ukuthi isithelo singadli.
Ama-medlars, ama-quince, nama-rowans ayezithelo ezithandwa kakhulu emazweni amaningi aseYurophu, kodwa azange aziwa ngokuthi ama-apula nama-pears akhiqiza izithelo eziningi ezinambitheka, ezinkulu ezinamba ezinkulu. U-Quince usajabulela ukuthandwa namuhla, kodwa ama-medlar kanye nama-rowans azivami ukutshala ukuze kusetshenziswe ukuhweba okuningi.
