How to plant apricot trees

Apricot is a very common fruit in China, with strong adaptability and is liked by many farmers, so how to plant apricot trees? Let's have a look at the shrimp.

1. Soil

Apricot trees are relatively resistant to barren fruit trees, so the requirements for planting soil types are not high, but the best soil is of course deep and fertile areas, if the local land is too barren, although it will not affect the normal growth of apricot trees, but it may lead to poor growth of fruit trees in the later stage, apricot trees are not full and beautiful, and for farmers, it is also directly related to the final yield. Therefore, in poor areas, we can consider using labor costs to improve the soil in order to achieve the optimal growth conditions.

Second, temperature

Among our common fruits, apricot is a fruit tree with strong cold and drought tolerance, which can grow normally even in a very low temperature environment, so apricot trees have a wide range of requirements for temperature, which can not be compared with other fruit trees. Therefore, the requirement for growth temperature is not high, but the flowering period is a very sensitive period for apricot trees. At this time, if the ambient temperature of apricot trees is higher than 10 degrees, only above 10 degrees can ensure that stamens and young fruits will not be frozen.

Third, lighting

Apricot itself is a light-loving plant, even in a low temperature environment, we should ensure sufficient light, lack of light will directly affect the apricot flowering and fruit sitting, but also affect the final yield.

4. Moisture

Apricot itself is a very drought-tolerant and barren fruit tree, so its requirement for water is not high. And because the apricot root system is very developed, so its ability to control water in the soil is also very strong, we must control when watering, observe the orchard soil moisture, timely replenish water. However, it should be noted that in the apricot branching period and fruit expansion period is a very important period, we must timely replenish water at this time, so as to promote the growth of apricot trees, but also help to increase yield. When watering, we must control the quantity, not too much waterlogging, and pay attention to the drainage in the park in rainy weather, so as not to affect the growth of fruit trees.

Apricot can grow normally in harsh environment, but in order to increase its yield, it needs to be considered from many aspects, such as temperature, moisture, soil and so on.
