For example, wax apple growers in southern Taiwan noticed that after a typhoon some of the wax apple trees whose stems and leaves had been broken off, and roots soaked, would grow new shoots that produced sweet, red fruit by winter.
舉蓮霧為例。南部地區的蓮霧果農發現颱風過後，枝葉折斷、根部浸水的蓮霧樹，竟然抽出滿是花芽的新條。等不及明年夏天，就在冬天開花結果了。所結果實又紅又甜，非常好吃。
