When does the "Rosaceae" apple blossom bloom? What kind of flowers are they blooming? What are the effects and effects of apple scented tea?

Apple belongs to Rosaceae perennial trees, Apple blossoms belong to Solanaceae and Rosaceae, showing white trumpet shape, which is similar to the fruit of western flowers, with bright colors and unique fragrance. When will the apple blossoms blossom? What kind of flowers are they blooming?

Apple is now distributed all over the world and especially likes to grow in warm places. It is planted in most parts of China, mainly in Liaoning, Hebei, Beijing, Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, Shaanxi, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Ningxia and other places. Sun Simiao in the Tang Dynasty once said that apple blossoms were "beneficial to the heart"; Husihui in the Yuan Dynasty thought it could "invigorate the body and quench thirst"; and Wang Shixiong, a famous doctor in the Qing Dynasty, said it had the effects of "moistening the lungs and pleasing the heart, invigorating the stomach, soothing up alcohol," and so on.

When do apple blossoms blossom? What kind of flowers are they blooming?

The flowering period of apples varies greatly from place to place. Generally from April to May, each flower bud has 3-7 flowers, and the central flower blossoms first, apple petals five, plum blossom-shaped. Flowers white halo, diameter 3-4 cm, pedicel and calyx are gray-white tomentose, calyx leaves long-pointed, persistent, stamens 20, style 5. The flowers are white trumpet-shaped. Apple is a cross-pollinated plant, most varieties of self-pollination can not bear fruit.

Apple trees bear fruit a few years after planting

The apple trees began to bear fruit 2 ~ 3 years after planting, and the economic life was 15-50 years under general management conditions, while that of barren soil and extensive management was only 20-30 years. Due to the comprehensive effect of apical dominance and bud heterogeneity, apples usually have strong dryness and obvious stratification. Because of the difference of sprouting ability and branch forming ability among varieties, the obvious degree of stratification is also different.

Main value of apple blossom

It has the effect of tonifying blood or relieving neuralgia, tonifying blood and eyesight, eliminating acne and whitening.

Apple contains a kind of polyphenols, which is easily dissolved in water, so it is easily absorbed by the human body. According to the study, it is found that the content of polyphenols in immature apples is 10 times higher than that in mature apples. And the contents of organic acids, amino acids and sodium ions in immature apples are higher than those in mature apples. And the magic "apple phenol" can also inhibit the production of melanin, so it has a great effect on whitening skin!

Brewing mode

Teaspoon dried petals, brew in a cup of boiling water, simmer for about 10 minutes; drink with brown sugar or honey.

Matters needing attention

Precautions for apple blossoms: please put them in a cool and dry place indoors to prevent children from taking them by themselves.

Post-anthesis management of apple trees

The post-anthesis management of apple trees is a key period for high quality and high yield throughout the year, from flowering to bagging, that is, from early April to mid-May. The specific measures are as follows:

First, thinning flowers and fruits

1. The amount of thinning is determined according to the amount of flowers. For trees with too many flowers, if the judgment of the amount of flowers is not accurate and the amount of flowers retained is too large in winter, some flower branches can be properly removed; for the fruiting branches that are too weak and too dense, one or two can be properly removed, but not too much and too heavy, so as not to weaken the tree potential; for the branches with too many and too dense fruiting branches, they can be properly thinned to reduce the workload of flower thinning and fruit thinning.

two。 Change the traditional concept of keeping flowers and fruits. The traditional method of keeping flowers and fruits according to distance will leave some flowers and fruits that are not strong, but these flowers and fruits of low quality are difficult to bear big fruit. Therefore, when leaving flowers and fruits, it is not necessary to consider the distance of all the weak flowers and small fruits. For strong branches and strong branches on the flowers and fruits can be kept properly, as long as the fruit amount per mu is controlled at 12000 to 15000, it can meet the requirements of high quality and high yield, that is, the yield can reach 5000 jin to 8000 jin. This work should be carried out as early as possible when the flower buds can be seen, and the earlier the nutrient consumption is, the less nutrients are consumed. As long as this work is done in place, it is tantamount to fertilizing and watering the fruit trees, and the fruit is obviously one or two specifications larger than that of not doing this work.

Second, erase buds

When thinning flowers and fruits, it can not only save nutrition and prevent depression, but also reduce the amount of pruning during winter cutting, which can be said to get twice the result with half the effort, and the effect is very good.

Third, replenish after anthesis

Within 40 days after flowering, that is, before the first nutrient conversion (from early April to mid-May), there is cell division in young fruit. At this stage, whether the tree is nutritious or not is the key period to directly determine the size and quality of the fruit, and it is also an important period to determine the length and quality of spring shoots and the size and quality of leaves. According to the judgment, if the orchard returns green slowly, the leaves are small, the leaves are dark green, and the new shoots are difficult to grow, the storage nutrients have been basically exhausted. In this case, timely replenishment is imperative. This measure will be taken as soon as it is observed that it has been seated. The effect is better when combined with watering, flushing or gun spraying Qixing yellow bucket, one or two barrels per mu, or gun application of rare earth amino acids with 30 times 50 times liquid.
