My grandfather planted a sesame tree in the corner of the garden. The sesame tree was originally planted as an ornamental, but when it grew, it created shade for the whole garden. The tree has a name that everyone wants to own: fortune means good luck and brings joy to the whole family. The sesame tree is about 30 years old, so the root is quite big. The tree is about 10m high and the canopy diameter is about 20m, embracing the whole corner of the garden. The tree is old, so the bark is no longer slippery but becomes rough and rough. The leaves are similar to acacia leaves, but smaller and more slender, surrounded by a serrated border. The special thing about the sesame tree is its flowers. Sesame buds are not like other species. The flowers do not rise upwards but downwards forming a soft band that sways in the wind. From that strip, small flowers appear on the outside, which are white and blue, but when they bloom, they are like red fireworks inside, with very soft red threads. When the wind sways they will fall and create a purple-red color covering the base of the tree. The New Year's sesame tree is also very popular because at the end of the old year, they want to be blessed with a house full of blessings. Bonsai sellers prepare many ornamental sesame buds for sale at the end of the year. When taking a panoramic photo of the blooming sesame tree, it will create a great picture. In the summer, when I have time, I often go out to cool off under the sesame tree.
